Notes
'Anne Thomson' crane's-bill (Geranium 'Anne Thomson') is a perennial for borders, rock gardens, cottage gardens, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist soil of most types. It blooms in spring, summer, and autumn, and butterflies visit the flowers. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. It stays about 12 inches tall and spreads 24 to 36 inches, so give it room.
Pairs well with Blue fescue, Prairie dropseed, and Carnaval De Nice tulip.
