Geranium phaeum - Dusky Cranesbill
One of the best shade-tolerant hardy geraniums available, Geranium phaeum (Dusky Cranesbill) produces elegant, deep plum-purple flowers. Flowering from late spring into early summer, its rich, moody blooms bring depth and sophistication to shadier areas where colour can often be limited. Reliable, graceful and wonderfully easy to grow, this is a perennial that quietly transforms difficult spots.
Thriving in full sun to full shade, Geranium phaeum prefers moist but well-drained soil and is perfectly suited to woodland gardens, cottage-style borders, wildlife-friendly planting and naturalistic schemes. It pairs beautifully with Hostas, Ferns, and Heuchera for layered foliage interest, or alongside Digitalis and Aquilegia for a soft, romantic display. Low maintenance and tolerant of a range of conditions once established, this hardy cranesbill is a dependable choice that returns year after year with effortless charm.
Supplied in approx. 1 litre containers.
