Wildflower - Wild Geranium

The Wild Geranium (Geranium maculatum) is in bloom along the edge of our lawn. The native Wild Geranium is a common plant of woodlands and prefers light shade to partial sunlight and moist, loamy soil. It is one of the easier woodland species to cultivate.



The showy pink to lavender flowers of the Wild Geranium are 1 to 1.5 inches across. Wild Geraniums grow from thick rhizomes that are generally not far under the soil. Over time, a single plant can produce a clump of 2 to 3 feet in diameter.
