Bloody Cranesbill (Single) (Geranium sanguineum) is a hardy perennial celebrated for its vivid flowers and seasonal foliage display. Each bloom features five rounded petals in shades of rich magenta to rosy pink, often marked with delicate, darker veining that radiates from the center. The flowers rise above low, dense mounds of deeply lobed green leaves, which frequently shift to crimson or bronze tones in autumn, extending the plant’s visual appeal beyond its flowering season.

Native to Europe and parts of Asia, it naturally inhabits meadows, rocky slopes, and open woodland edges. The name “Bloody Cranesbill” refers both to the flower’s intense color and the crane-like shape of its elongated seed capsules. In its single form, the plant represents the species in its natural, unmodified state, highlighting its resilience, long blooming period, and ecological value. It provides nectar for pollinators while offering texture, color, and structure to perennial gardens and wildflower landscapes.
