Geranium sanguineum 'Feu d'Automne' | Also known as: Crane's bill 'Feu d'Automne', Geranium 'Feu d'Automne' | Rating: votes| Print / Pdf
Geranium sanguineum is a trailing herbaceous perennial. This beautiful species is often called bloody cranesbill and has deep magenta-pink flowers throughout the summer months. Bloody cranesbill can be grown in both partial shade and full sun, and makes a welcome addition to the garden, particularly as a groundcover plant. Its trailing nature makes it ideal for the edges of borders and containers, where it will spill over the sides. G. sanguineum prefers well-drained soil that remains moist throughout the year. In periods of drought it will need watering.
Geranium is a large genus of plants, commonly called cranesbill, containing around 422 species. Plants are annual, biennial and perennial, and though mostly common to the Mediterranean, can be found in temperate and tropical regions too. Geraniums are characterised by their cleft and broadly circular leaves and the five-petalled flowers that come in colours of pink, purple, white and blue. Flowers often have distinctive veining for additional attraction. Plants normally bloom extremely well and as they grow in most conditions, are a garden favourite. Some species can also be pruned back hard after flowering to encourage a second flush of blooms.
