Spotted geranium is a reliable, easy-care native wildflower that thrives in partially shaded woodland gardens with average, well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first season to establish roots, then reduce watering as it becomes more self-sufficient. Its delicate pink-lavender blooms attract pollinators and it spreads gently to fill shady spots beautifully.
