Geranium maculatum
Geranium maculatum | Wild geranium
Native to eastern deciduous woodlands, wild geranium is a charming wildflower that produces an abundance of pale pink or light lavender flowers in May and early June. In a garden setting, plants will form tidy clumps reaching 18-24”, but this species is also surprisingly tolerant of competition, growing well among dense plant communities found in rich meadows and fields. With ample moisture, wild geranium will produce the most flowers and grow happily in full sun, but it also thrives in part shade or the filtered light of an open deciduous canopy. Prefers humus-rich soils and may go dormant after blooming in dry summers.
