by common name


It is the beak shaped seed pods that give Cranesbill's their name. Wild Geraniums are found where the soil remains evenly moist, usually in shady areas. From woods to meadows, cranesbills inhabit a wide range. Locating them may be easy but proper identification is much harder considering their variety.

Garden hybrids prefer well drained, evenly moist soil. In the north country, Cranesbills will thrive in full sun if the soil stays moist, otherwise plant in partial shade.
