This charmer got its "tiny" name and 10" x 24" compactness from G.sanguineum, its "monster" name, vigorous groundcovering spirit and handsome cut-leaves from G. psilostemon; its pretty pink, wine-red-veined spring flowers are its own! S/M/GDr

Critter-resistant Cranesbill that is lovely for the border, rock garden or container...6-12” tall with sprawling compact growth to 2’ wide, also makes a nice groundcover massed. Drought and clay tolerant, profuse bloom May-June of magenta flowers, sporadic rest of summer. Sterile. Sun to part shade and moderate water makes this little monster happy!
