Geranium sanguineum var. striatum
Bloody Cranesbill |
USDA Zone: 3-9 |
Plant number: 1.230.250
The shorter selections of Cranesbill Geranium are valuable edging or rock garden plants. This variety forms a bushy mound of fine-textured green foliage, bearing a bright display of soft-pink flowers, veined with deep pink, in late spring and well into the summer. Plants stand up well to a wide range of soil and climate conditions, including hot, humid weather. Easily divided in spring or fall. One of the best choices for massed plantings, filling in quickly to create a bushy groundcover. Often shows good bronzy-red fall colour.
