Wild Geranium (Geranium maculatum) is a native perennial found throughout eastern North America. Not only is it a beautiful addition to the garden, but it’s also great for attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. This plant thrives in shady borders, open woodland gardens, or wildflower meadows – you can spot it flowering next to the Tree Frog Trail.
Its drought tolerance is one of the plant’s standout features. In prolonged droughts, Wild Geranium can go dormant before the summer ends, then return the following spring. Plus, it’s deer-resistant, making it a smart choice for gardeners.
