Description
Wild Geranium, or Geranium maculatum, is a beloved and easily recognizable native wildflower found throughout eastern North America. It produces soft pink to lavender-purple blooms and features delicate, fern-like leaves that add texture and charm to woodland gardens, shaded borders, and even sunny garden beds.
Thriving in both partial shade and full sun, Wild Geranium attracts a wide range of pollinators, including native bees and butterflies. Its unique seed dispersal mechanism flings seeds outward, allowing it to spread naturally in the landscape without being invasive.
This hardy perennial has deep roots in Native American herbalism, where it was used for its medicinal properties. With its graceful appearance and ecological value, Wild Geranium is a must-have for naturalized gardens and native plant enthusiasts.
