Crane's bill 'Tiny Monster'- Geranium



The common name cranesbill comes from shape of the unsprung column of the flower when it goes to seed, which in some species is long and looks like the bill of a crane. Many species in this genus do not have a long beak-like column.
This is a common wild Geranium which needs well-drained garden soil in full sun or light shade in areas with hot summers. Shear plants back for neatness after the blooms have all opened. You may get regrowth and a second crop of flowers. They can grow 10-20" high
