Round-leaf crane's-bill is a low-growing annual or short-lived perennial geranium with rounded, softly hairy leaves and small pink flowers that appear from spring through summer. It adapts well to disturbed ground, dry banks, and garden borders in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil. Very little maintenance is needed — deadhead spent flowers to extend blooming and prevent excessive self-seeding.
