Comments (2)G.maculatum...one of the best do nothing, no pampering perennials in my garden. I have G.maculatum as a groundcover and in a roof top garden. Leave the leaves on. New growth will emerge and grow up beyond the old leaves, that have turned red over winter. The old leaves get pushed down in contact with the soil, die off and mulch the crown. It is a very efficient plant. Sometimes if the foliage is looking very tired in August, I will rip out the fringe of old growth at the edge of the plant mound. By September, with cooler temperature, there is a flush of new, green growth. I love this plant....See MoreGeranium maculatum?
Comments (8)It looks like nodosum to me - while I freely admit to not knowing all the geranium. I've grown g. nodosum Svelte Lilac for years in dry shade. A little bit coarse looking without any care at all but still has its own charm....See MoreLooks like Geranium maculatum...
Comments (6)at least it's not Canadian anemone. I've been fighting that beast for years. One or two are pretty, but I didn't have one or two of them......See Moreedlincoln
