Notes
'Claridge Druce' crane's-bill (Geranium oxonianum 'Claridge Druce') is a perennial for borders, containers, 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 average to moist soil of most types. It bears pink flowers with darker pink veins in spring, summer, and autumn. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Butterflies visit the blooms, and the plant is drought tolerant.
Pairs well with Caradonna sage, Lady's mantle, and Kleine Silberspinne eulalia.
