Perfect for adding texture, this perennial blooms for an extended period. The mounding growth produces numerous white flowers with a pink blush and veins. The green foliage turns color when fall arrives. Plant in well-drained soil in full to part sun.

Aromatic carpeting Geranium with light green, semi-evergreen foliage which turns red in fall. Good groundcover. Nodding, reflex-petaled, white flowers that open from pink buds. - Darwin Perennials

Geranium is derived from the Greek geranós, meaning crane. The common name, cranesbill, derives from the shape of the fruit capsule that appears in some of the species.
