Richardson's geranium
Geranium richardsonii
Richardson's geranium is a hardy native wildflower that adapts well to woodland gardens, meadow edges, and shaded borders in mountain and western regions. It prefers moist, well-drained soil and dappled sunlight, tolerating a range of soil types once established. This low-maintenance perennial self-seeds gently and attracts pollinators with its delicate white to pale pink blooms.
