Magenta Carpet Cranesbill |
Description
The incanum variety is grown as a trailing or mounding perennial to a size of 1' tall, spreading by underground runners to cover relatively large areas if healthy. Its foliage has a wispy, ferny texture. The dark, rosy violet flowers bloom from spring through fall. The plant needs good drainage, full sun in coastal areas, afternoon shade in warm inland areas, and extra summer water. Trim spent blooms to prevent re-seeding.

Water Saving Tip:
Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
