Oh... my... gosh... You can all pretty much disregard this post. My memory is officially gone lol. Just gone.

Instead of searching FIRST, after I posted I just thought, hmm, let me do a search on GM and Geraniaceae here on the forums. Well guess whose post was the first to pop up?

Mine.

From three months ago.

Sigh.

Sorry guys lol. I am going to slink away and do some internet research on memory enhancement.....

Digger, I'm zone 6B/7A but it's already too late to do what I'm about to advise you, so wait until spring. G. maccrorhizum with it's long roots is the easiest plant in the world to get starts from. Just pull out a rhizome by hand, make a slit in the ground where you want it, pull dirt over it. You can do this all season as plants grow. You certainly don't need to buy new plants if you have even one. I have a large area of them and also large areas of G. 'Karmina' and 'Biokovo' all treatable in the same way.

The geranium nursery you wondered about is reliable and honest

ive ordered there 3 times. i understand your questioning the shiping costs but i considered them fair and in line with others and far less thsn Bluestone which always seems very expensive.

I bet good $ that i could rip up handfuls of geranium m, throw it in a mailer envelope and you could plant them and theyd do fine!

@diggerdee zone 6 CT, I have done this so many times!

I have used macrorrhizum tons in the past but I think this is the first year I have bought some with the white flowers.

digger

what did you end up doing about ger. macro? I could still send you a box of roots

Following what @laceyvail 6A, WV said, I once ordered root sections from an Etsy seller and they did very well and it was cheaper than buying plants and paying to ship soil.

Bumping this up hoping Dee will see it

Hi yes, sorry! I did see this yesterday but just didn't have time to respond. And actually now that I re-read the whole thread I see I never responded to kitasei or Marie after they were so kind to offer me some from their gardens. Shame on me! I'm sorry for the rudeness and thank you for your generosity!

kitasei, my husband and I usually go upstate to the Rhinebeck area once a year so maybe if we go this year I will let you know! We can take a little side trip to Cortlandt Manor (which ALWAYS reminds me of the soap opera All My Children lol!). Thank you!

Marie if you really can send me some that would be fantastic. I am happy to pay you for them. I'm guessing your prices are better than Bluestone's! ;) Please message me if you don't hear from me soon.

laceyvail, thanks for that info. I know you all have said how easy they are to root, but to be honest, I didn't want to divide the plants up because they were so small. However this spring I am quite happy with the way they are finally starting to fill out, so perhaps I will try divvying them up this year.

But I need SOOOOOOO many. These are for a dry, empty area that runs along the boundary fence, at least 80 feet long, I would say, and probably I'd bring it out at least three feet. Nothing grows there so I am hoping to get these established. On one end, where there is more light, I have some shrubs planted and have the GM interplanted, so I just want to continue it all the way up into this dry empty area.

Thank you all!

do you want ”spessart” ( white wit a pink tinge) or a magenta.? ill get photos

A patch of macrorhizzom

a hillside of it. Monocultures are not very exciting but this one is weed smothering. i dont have to think about it.

Oh my! You weren't kidding when you said you had a lot!

I'd like the magenta please, as that is what I started with and want to keep it all the same. I'll try to remember to reach out lol. I think I'll leave myself a post-it on my computer monitor lol.

Thank you!
