Notes

'Mary Anne' crane's-bill (Geranium 'Mary Anne') is a perennial for ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil. Large purple flowers with white eyes and dark veins rise above lobed green leaves, and bees visit the blooms. It sits low on the menu for deer. Give it room at the front of the border.

Pairs well with Festiva Maxima peony, Autumn fern, and Grape hyacinth.
