From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Geranium maculatum, the Spotted Cranesbill or Wood Geranium or Wild Geranium is a woodland perennial plant native to Eastern North America.
The light blue, purple, or pink flowers are borne from spring to mid-summer. The leaves are palmately divided on long petioles arising from the crowns. The seed pods explode in mid-summer sending seeds in various directions leaving the opened seed pod looking like a little brown flower with petals curled back. Planting Wild Geranium in moist soil in part sun will ensure the plant spreads in no time. It provides attractive groundcover.
