Patricia Cranesbill

Geranium 'Patricia'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Geraniaceae
Plant Description: Mounding bushy perennial. Spring brings 5-petaled magenta flowers with black star-shaped centers. Large toothed leaves are mid to dark green. Cut back after bloom to promote a possible summer rebloom. Plants prefer moist and fertile soils but will tolerate drought and poor soils.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
