Description: Hardy geraniums or cranesbills, are low-growing, mounding perennials with long-lasting blooms and attractive foliage. Perform best with morning sun and afternoon shade, as prolonged heat can stress plants. Adaptability, deer resistance, and ease of care. Many varieties produce profuse purple, blue, or pink blooms from late spring through early summer, with some reblooming in fall if cut back. Ideal for borders, cottage gardens, and underplanting shrubs, they appreciate well-drained soil and occasional summer watering to stay lush and full.
