Geranium sanguineum ‘Bloody Geranium’ is a tough, reliable perennial known for its vivid reddish-purple flowers and excellent drought tolerance.

This low-growing, clump-forming geranium produces masses of blooms from spring through summer, creating a colorful display in borders, containers, and rock gardens. After flowering, the finely textured foliage develops attractive autumn color, extending seasonal interest.

Well adapted to challenging conditions, ‘Bloody Geranium’ is tolerant of drought and clay soils, deer resistant, and somewhat gopher resistant once established. It performs best in sun to part shade with moderate water.

Its compact size and spreading habit make it an easy-care choice for mixed perennial plantings and low-maintenance landscapes.

Organically grown and shipped with care—ready to deliver long-lasting color, resilience, and classic cottage-garden appeal.
