Cranesbill, or hardy geraniums, are perennial border plants with saucer-shaped flowers in shades of pink, purple and blue. They're easy to grow, thrive in shade and flower for months. They’re popular in cottage garden schemes and offer a long season of pollen and nectar for a number of pollinators, particularly bees.

Geranium maculatum f. albiflorum is a fantastic white-flowered cranesbill, which thrives in shade and spreads steadily. It's perfect for using as ground cover at the front of borders. Deadhead spent blooms regularly to prolong flowering.
