Small-flower crane's-bill is a delicate, low-growing wildflower that naturalizes well in lawns, disturbed ground, and garden borders with minimal attention. It produces tiny pale lilac flowers over a long season and self-seeds freely, making it a good choice for a wildflower or cottage garden. Simply plant in well-drained soil in a sunny to partly shaded position and let it grow with little intervention.
