Geranium pratense 'Dark Eyes' (Cranesbill)

Geranium pratense ‘Dark Eyes’ (Cranesbill)

‘Dark Eyes’ is a beautiful hardy geranium with deep purple-blue flowers marked by darker veining for added depth and detail. The blooms appear from late spring through summer, rising above deeply cut, lacy green foliage that gives the plant a soft, textured look in the garden.

This long-blooming perennial is a great choice for borders, cottage gardens, and mixed perennial beds. Its mounding habit blends easily with other sun-loving perennials and provides steady color through much of the growing season.

Geranium pratense is easy to grow and performs best in full sun to part sun with well-drained soil. Trim back after flowering to encourage fresh foliage and a tidy appearance.
