Why We Love It:
‘Bishop’s Form’ Erodium is one of those plants that flowers continuously while staying neat and compact. Its evergreen foliage forms a dense, refined mat that looks attractive year-round, while the delicate pink flowers appear from late spring into fall. Tough, adaptable, and drought tolerant once established, it thrives in rocky soils and sunny garden spaces where many traditional perennials struggle. Perfect for rock gardens, troughs, and pathways, it brings long-lasting color without demanding much maintenance.

Additional Info:
Butterfly friendly and naturally deer resistant. Prefers sharply drained soils and performs especially well in sandy, gravelly, or alkaline conditions. Regular deadheading encourages continued flowering through the season. Excellent for alpine gardens, crevice plantings, containers, and low-water landscapes where year-round evergreen texture is desired.
