Geranium incanum |
+ Add |
Magenta Carpet Cranesbill |
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.
