Cranesbill, also known as Geranium, is a genus of flowering plants in the family Geraniaceae. These perennial herbs are characterized by their rounded leaves and vibrant flowers, which can be purple, pink, or white. Cranesbills are commonly found in temperate regions and are often used in gardens for their ornamental value. The name "Cranesbill" comes from the shape of the seed capsules, which resemble a crane's bill. These plants are hardy and can thrive in various soil types, making them popular for ground cover and borders. They also attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, contributing to garden biodiversity.
