Oregon geranium is a hardy native perennial that thrives in partially shaded garden beds with consistently moist, well-drained soil. Water regularly during dry spells and mulch around the base to retain moisture. It requires minimal care once established and will naturalize beautifully in woodland or cottage garden settings.
