Geranium pratense, the meadow cranesbill, is a species of hardy flowering herbaceous perennial plant in the genus Geranium, Geraniaceae family. The leaves are deeply divided into 7-9 lobes and 3-6 inch wide, and the flowers are pale blue. It is native to much of Europe and Asia, but is cultivated and naturalized elsewhere.[1][2] Several cultivars are available for garden use, of which 'Mrs Kendall Clark'[3] and 'Plenum violaceum'[4] have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
