Geranium maculatum ‘Espresso’


Cranesbill Geranium

 USDA Zone: 4-9

Plant number: 1.230.840


This is a medium-tall Cranesbill, forming a bushy clump of unusual coffee-brown. It is among the earliest to bloom, bearing clusters of cup-shaped flowers in a delicate soft-pink shade, which begin to appear in mid to late spring.

This is a selection of a species native throughout eastern North America.
