About This Plant
Geranium GBF Burgundy Blaze (Ivy Geranium), 'Ivy Geranium', is valued for seasonal interest and the role it plays in PNW garden borders.
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 perennial of similar character, consider Aquilegia formosa (Western Red Columbine), Tellima grandiflora (Fringecups), or Dicentra formosa (Pacific Bleeding Heart) , all support native pollinators.
