Wild geranium, spotted geranium, or woodland geranium, is a native perennial plant offering several positive landscaping uses. It adds value to gardens and naturalistic landscapes because of its natural beauty, adaptability, and ecological advantages.

Attractive Flowering: The use of this plant in landscaping is mostly due to its lovely blossoms. The perennial produces delicate, five-petaled flowers in spring and summer that range in color from pink to lavender. The flowers enhance biodiversity by bringing a delicate touch of color to the landscape garden and luring pollinators like bees and butterflies.

Ground Cover: Because of its dense foliage clumps, this plant is a great choice for ground covering. Its spreading habit helps suppress weed growth and stabilize soil, reducing the need for extensive maintenance. It is beneficial in shaded areas where other ground covers may struggle to thrive.
