How to grow wild geranium – for a hardy flowering perennial that will thrive in shady gardens

Wild geranium, Geranium maculatum, in a woodland in Wisconsin, with pink blooms and green foliage.

Wild geranium is a hardy perennial found growing naturally in the woodlands of North America. If you have a shady yard or dark borders beneath a large tree, this is the plant to grow.

Wild geraniums, or Geranium maculatum, produce palmate, divided leaves that form a lush ground cover, punctuated by flowers that open in pale shades. These hardy, tough and pest-resistant plants are exemplary perennials when it comes to low-maintenance gardening, more than earning their spot in any yard.
