Cranesbill Geraniums: True Perennials for Every Garden Niche

Not to be confused with annual pelargoniums, cranesbill geraniums (G. sanguineum) offer upright, mounding, and spreading forms—five-petaled flowers in blue-red range, kidney/lobed leaves. Sun to part shade. Borders, rock gardens, groundcovers, shade gardens. Deer/rabbit resistant; bee/butterfly friendly.

Cottage Garden Stars

'Biokovo' (G. x cantabrigiense): white flowers, dark foliage, 6-8", part sun. 'Johnson's Blue': sky-blue fading gray, 18". 'Ann Folkard' (trailing): chartreuse-purple, palmate leaves, cool/moist loving, groundcover. Informal, flexible, long-blooming—cranesbills define the modern cottage aesthetic.
