About This Plant
Geranium Americana Dark Red is valued in PNW gardens for its character and seasonal interest.
Hardy / Cranesbill Geraniums are tough perennials with palmately-lobed leaves and saucer-shaped flowers in blue, purple, pink, or white. Different from frost-tender Pelargonium.
Full sun to part shade suits this species. Plant in moist, well-drained soil. Hardy USDA Zone 3 to 8. Cut back hard after first flush for fresh foliage and repeat bloom.
For a Pacific Northwest native plant of similar character, consider Aquilegia formosa (Western Red Columbine), Holodiscus discolor (Oceanspray), or Mahonia aquifolium (Tall Oregon Grape) , all support native pollinators and birds.
