It emerges early and blooms over a long stretch in spring, sending up soft lavender to pink flowers on airy stems above dense, low clumps of foliage. The leaves are deeply lobed and good looking throughout the entire season. Wild geranium is especially useful due to how adaptable it is, handling both part sun and shade with ease, making it an easy choice for gardens where light conditions shift. It spreads slowly over time, helping fill in gaps and bring a sense of cohesion to borders without ever feeling aggressive or heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn southeastern Wisconsin, Geranium maculatum thrives in well-drained, humus-rich soil and settles in reliably with very little maintenance. It’s a plant that quietly ties everything together, especially in spring when the garden is still waking up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Conditions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLight: Part sun to full shade\u003cbr\u003eSoil: Medium to rich, well-drained soil\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 1–1.5 feet\u003cbr\u003eSpread: 1–1.5 feet\u003cbr\u003eZones: 3–8\u003cbr\u003eBloom time: May through June\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWildlife Value\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cranesbill miner \u003cspan\u003e(\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem class=\"eujQNb\"\u003eAndrena distans\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e) is a specialized native bee that relies almost exclusively on Wild Geranium for pollen to feed its larvae. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlooms Alongside:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/prettywildnursery.com\/products\/virginia-bluebells-mertensia-virginica\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eVirginia Bluebells (Mertensia virginica)\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/prettywildnursery.com\/products\/jacob-s-ladder-polemonium-reptans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eJacob’s Ladder (Polemonium reptans)\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/prettywildnursery.com\/products\/bloodroot-sanguinaria-canadensis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eBloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis)\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/prettywildnursery.com\/products\/wild-blue-phlox-phlox-divaricata\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eWoodland Phlox (Phlox divaricata)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFor more information, please check out our \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/prettywildnursery.com\/pages\/sizes-and-pricing\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ci\u003esizes, pricing and ordering page\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ci\u003e. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pretty Wild","offers":[{"title":"Quart","offer_id":45584742056115,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Plug","offer_id":45584742088883,"sku":null,"price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/0633\/1827\/files\/Unknown-7_92c96eef-fbed-44f2-b816-b6fee85d4442.jpg?v=1775071692","url":"https:\/\/prettywildnursery.com\/products\/wild-geranium-geranium-maculatum","provider":"Pretty Wild","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
