Erodium

Common Name: Storksbill or Heronsbill.  Relatives of the hardy Geraniums but on the whole liking drier, sunnier positions than most of those. Usually forming low mounds of feathery foliage and with pink to white flowers with a characteristic darker marking on two of the petals.

Propagate by division.

Erodium petraeumErodium petraeum.

Low mounds of finely divided leaves and masses of pink veined flowers throughout the Summer and Autumn. Best in a well drained soil but pretty accommodating for us. The distinctive darker blotch on the top two petals only shows up well when grown in full sun. Originates from Southern France and Northern Spain.
