Tuberous crane's bill (Geranium tuberosum)

Description

Geranium tuberosum has attractive, sculpted, fern-like foliage with one or two slender stalks topped with two leaves at which point the stalk splits into multiple wiry stems with loosely clustered, buttercup-shaped, rose-violet flowers etched with deep purple veins. Each beautiful flower has five lobed petals that look like hearts from which ten purple anthers emerge. In natural settings, like sun dappled woodlands or meadows, Geranium tuberosum looks carefree and a bit wild.
