Description
Geranium is a clump-forming to spreading perennial valued for its long bloom season and adaptable growth habit, typically forming low, mounded plants 12–24 inches tall with a wider spread. From late spring through summer—often with repeat bloom into fall—it produces open, saucer-shaped flowers with prominent veining. Flower colors vary widely by species and cultivar and include soft lavender, violet-blue, rose-pink, magenta, pure white, and pale blue, making cranesbill a versatile choice for mixed plantings.
The deeply lobed, softly textured foliage is medium to dark green and forms a dense, weed-suppressing groundcover. Foliage is generally deciduous, with many selections offering attractive red, bronze, or orange fall color before dormancy. Durable and easy to grow, Geranium performs well in borders, woodland gardens, cottage gardens, pollinator plantings, and as a flowering groundcover, pairing naturally with spring bulbs, ornamental grasses, and shrubs.
