Wild Geranium

Geranium maculatum

Clump forming, Wild Geranium (also called ‘Cranesbill’) has attractive leaves and eye-catching blue-violet petals that attract bees and butterflies.

Although it does well in part-shade, blooms will be more profuse in full sun.

Once established, Wild Geranium is somewhat drought tolerant. It is used as a groundcover or woodland accent.

The flowers give way to distinctive, beaked capsules resembling a “crane’s bill.”

Heads Up! The Virginia Living Museum planetarium is CLOSED today for maintenance, but will reopen tomorrow.
