Wild Geranium is long-lived, forming mounded mass covered with lavender flowers. It supports pollinators in the spring/early summer providing pollen and nectar for bees and several species of butterflies. This species palmate leaves are attractive all season long in shaded areas and can over time create a nice ground cover. Though it grows best in part sun and shade, it can tolerate full sun if the soil is consistently damp. It is the larval host to the White-Marked Tussock moth Orgyia leucostigma. Also commonly known as Cranesbill. Deer resistant.
