Carpet geranium showcases a dense, mat-forming foliage reaching a height of approximately 10 inches (25 cm). The foliage consists of fine, delicate wiry leaves, creating a carpet-like appearance. Blossoms in pale mauve hues grace the plant from spring through autumn, accentuating its bushy silhouette. Its resilience is marked by the ability to withstand drought conditions and general neglect, making it a robust groundcover in sunny locales. Once every two years, pruning back to the root level encourages a tidy, rejuvenated presentation.
