Geranium maculatum - Missouri Botanical Garden
Native Range: Eastern North America. Bloom Time: April to May. Sun: Full sun to part shade. Attracts: Butterflies. Tolerate: Drought, Dry Soil.
Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Prefers moist, humusy soils, but tolerates poor soils. Will naturalize in optimum growing conditions. Deadheading is tedious and probably unnecessary since plants usually do not repeat bloom. Foliage may yellow in hot summers if soil is allowed to dry out. Foliage may decline after flowering in hot summer climates, at which point it may be lightly sheared back and shaped to revitalize.
Geranium maculatum is a clump-forming, Missouri native, woodland perennial which typically occurs in woods, thickets and shaded roadside areas throughout the State. Forms a mound of foliage that grows to 24" tall and 18" wide. Features pink to lilac, flowers in spring for a period of 6-7 weeks. Flowers give way to distinctive, beaked seed capsules which give rise to the common name of crane's bill.
Uses: Best in part shade areas of borders and woodland gardens. Mass for ground cover.
