Geranium incanum is grown as a trailing or mounding perennial to a size of 1' tall, spreading by underground runners to cover relatively large areas if healthy. Its foliage has a wispy, ferny texture. The lavender flowers with yellow green centers can appear from spring through fall. Trim plant after bloom period to prevent reseeding. The plant needs good drainage, and most suffer die back in cold winters. It flourishes in coastal areas. It does well in full to part sun. It needs occasional watering once it's established. Great plant for containers, in rock gardens, next to walkways.
