Bloody Cranesbill is a hardworking, long-blooming geranium that blankets itself in vivid magenta-red, saucer-shaped flowers from late spring through summer. The blossoms hover over a dense, rounded mound of deeply cut, lacy foliage that looks fresh all season and often blushes red as the weather cools. Endlessly easygoing, it asks only for a spot in part sun and average moisture, then returns dependably year after year with almost no fuss. Butterflies drift to the open flowers, while deer, rabbits, and pests reliably overlook it. Its tidy, weed-smothering habit makes it a superb edging or front-of-border plant, and it knits beautifully between shrubs and taller perennials. A timeless, trouble-free choice for gardeners who want maximum color for minimum effort.
