Geranium 'Bertie Crug' – Hardy Cranesbill with Delicate Blooms

Geranium 'Bertie Crug'

Geranium 'Bertie Crug' is a charming hardy geranium (cranesbill) prized for its delicate, pale pink to lilac flowers veined with deeper purple. This cultivar forms a low, spreading mound of deeply lobed, mid-green foliage that turns attractive shades of red in autumn. Blooming from late spring into summer, it brings a soft, cottage-garden elegance to borders, rockeries, and woodland edges.

Growing Conditions

• Light: Full sun to partial shade.
• Soil: Moist but well-drained, humus-rich soil.
• Height/Spread: 12-18 inches tall, spreading 18-24 inches.
• Wildlife: Attracts bees and butterflies; deer and rabbit resistant.

Shear back after the first flush of flowers to encourage a second bloom and tidy foliage. Divide clumps every 3-4 years in spring or fall to maintain vigor.
