Bloody Crane's-bill

Also known as Bloody Geranium

Bloody crane's-bill is a low-growing, clump-forming perennial named for the intense crimson hues its deeply lobed foliage adopts in late autumn. Solitary magenta-pink blossoms unfurl from late spring through summer, offering an abundant source of nectar and pollen to native solitary bees and hoverflies. Adapted to well-drained, nutrient-poor ground, it thrives on limestone pavements, coastal dunes, and sunny scrub margins across Europe and western Asia.
