Concord grape colored, deeply lobed leaves set this Geranium apart from all the others. This fantastic foliage slowly forms mounds that are topped with glowing periwinkle blue flowers beginning in early summer. The rich colors this plant offers will compliment all of its neighbors in the garden.
Hardy geraniums are wonderful filler plants for any landscape, either residential or commercial. They blend nicely with most other perennials and offer continuous color throughout the summer months.

Cranesbill is generally quite adapatable to a variety of growing conditions. Though it prefers moist, well-drained soil, it will also tolerate periods of drought once established. For this reason, it is a good choice for southern gardens.
Cranesbill will grow in full sun or part shade. In too much shade, however, its habit will be less compact and fewer flowers will be produced.
Geraniums are generally considered pest free. They require little care once established. If the foliage begins to look raggedy by late summer, simply trim it back. A new flush of foliage will quickly take its place. 'Black Beauty' is a very slow grower.
The commmon name, Cranesbill, refers to the beak-like shaped seed pod.
