One of the first cranesbills we ever grew. Starting a little later than most of the perennial geraniums, it flowers for a long time through summer. The billowing mounds of foliage are attractive all year; trimming spent flowerstalks off helps keep the appearance neat (but we hardly ever get around to that).
