Bloody Cranesbill

Beautiful flowers are accented by gorgeous foliage and attract butterflies to the perennial or rock garden. Lovely as a small-scale ground cover. Great companion to delphinium, daylilies, foxglove and lady's mantle. Shear after flowering for best appearance and to encourage rebloom.
