This rugged beauty brings a splash of wild elegance to even the toughest garden sites. Bloody Cranesbill bursts into bloom in late spring with vivid magenta, cup-shaped flowers that attract pollinators and light up the landscape. Its finely cut, rich green foliage forms a tidy, low mound that holds its shape through heat, wind, and drought. With a quick shearing after bloom, you’ll often get a second flush of color later in the season. As fall arrives, the foliage transforms into a glowing crimson red—earning its dramatic name.
Perfect for the front of borders, rock gardens, or naturalistic plantings, this mountain meadow native thrives in central Wyoming’s lean soils and harsh conditions without skipping a beat. A reliable, low-maintenance gem that’s as tough as it is beautiful.
