Bloody cranesbill is an easy-going, clump-forming perennial prized for its vivid magenta-pink blooms that appear from late spring through summer. It thrives in well-drained soil in partial to full sun and is remarkably tolerant of poor soils once established. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage repeat blooming and cut back after flowering to promote fresh foliage growth.
