Cranesbill, Siberian Geranium, Hardy Geraniums
One of the first hardy geraniums to flower and one of the last to bloom, Geranium wlassovianum is also noted for its attractive foliage throughout the growing season. The rounded, lobed, downy leaves emerge reddish purple in spring before turning dark green in summer and turning lovely shades of bright red and golden yellow in fall. Small, 1 in. (2.5 cm), deep purple, saucer-shaped blossoms with white centers and darker veins are held in loose clusters and produced from early summer to early fall.
