The Bloody Cranesbill Geranium (Geranium sanguineum) is a hardy, perennial favorite that brings vibrant color and charm to any garden. Its name might sound fierce, but this geranium is all about beauty and resilience. From late spring to early summer, it produces an abundance of eye-catching, magenta-pink blooms that are rich in color, creating a striking contrast against its finely divided, dark green foliage.

As the season progresses, the foliage turns a brilliant shade of red, adding a stunning layer of fall interest to your landscape. With its low-growing, spreading habit, Bloody Cranesbill Geranium is an excellent choice for ground cover, edging along pathways, or filling in gaps in mixed borders. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and is incredibly easy to grow, requiring minimal care once established.

This geranium is also drought-tolerant and deer-resistant, making it a practical choice for low-maintenance gardens. Whether you’re looking to add a splash of color to your rock garden, create a lush ground cover, or simply enjoy its seasonal show of blooms and foliage, the Bloody Cranesbill Geranium is a versatile and reliable addition to your garden.
