Striped Cranesbill
Geranium sanguineum var. striatum
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Geraniaceae
Plant Description: Low-growing, compact, clump-forming perennial also known as Bloody Cranesbill. Dark green leaves are deeply toothed and smaller than other geraniums. Light-pink flowers with darker pink veins mainly bloom in spring but reappear to a lesser degree throughout the year. Will tolerate some drought. Prune to keep it to a desirable size.
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.
