Geranium sanguineum - 2026

Geranium sanguineum is a hardy, perennial plant admired for its vibrant magenta-pink flowers that bloom from late spring to early summer, providing a long-lasting and striking display. The wide, saucer-shaped blooms rise above finely divided, bright green foliage that forms a dense, low-growing, clump-forming habit, adding texture and structure to borders, rockeries, or naturalistic plantings. Its flowers attract bees and other pollinators, enhancing garden biodiversity while maintaining ornamental appeal.

Thriving in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil, Geranium sanguineum is hardy, low-maintenance, and adaptable to a variety of soil types. Occasional removal of spent flowers encourages fresh foliage and can extend the flowering period. Its combination of abundant, long-lasting blooms, lush foliage, and pollinator-friendly qualities makes it a versatile and reliable choice for cottage gardens, mixed borders, rockeries, and naturalistic plantings.
