Product Description
Geranium sanguineum 'New Hampshire Purple' (30)ct Flat
Common Name: Hardy Geranium, Bloody Cranesbill.
A profusion of magenta-purple flowers atop compact, spreading mounds of leaves makes this one of the best low-growing cranesbills. Intricately cut leaves are green for most of the season but earn their namesake from the brilliant crimson-red they turn in fall. This species is so adaptable that it handles both hot summer and cold winter climates with ease.
Cranesbill is generally quite adaptable to a variety of growing conditions. Though it prefers moist, well-drained soil, it will also tolerate periods of drought once established. For this reason, it is a good choice for southern gardens. Cranesbill will grow in full sun or part shade. In too much shade, however, its habit will be less compact and fewer flowers will be produced.
Geraniums are generally considered pest free. They require little care once established but may be divided every 3-4 years. If the foliage begins to look raggedy by late summer, simply trim it back. A new flush of foliage will quickly take its place. The common name, Cranesbill, refers to the beak-like shaped seed pod.
