Geranium oreganum, or Oregon Geranium, is a graceful native perennial that brings natural charm to woodland edges, shaded borders, and moist garden areas. This Pacific Northwest beauty boasts delicate pink to lavender flowers that bloom in late spring and early summer, attracting pollinators like native bees and butterflies. Its finely textured, lobed leaves provide interest throughout the growing season and offer a lovely green backdrop for the blooms.
Thriving in partial shade to full sun with moist, well-drained soils, Oregon Geranium is an excellent choice for woodland gardens, pollinator-friendly plantings, and even rain gardens. In the fall, its foliage can take on hues of red and orange, adding seasonal interest before it goes dormant. Hardy and easy to grow, this low-maintenance plant tolerates wetter soils better than many other geranium species, making it especially suited for damp areas in your landscape.
Whether you're looking to support pollinators or add beauty to shaded spots, Geranium oreganum is an ideal native plant that contributes to the health of your local ecosystem. Bring a touch of the wild into your garden and watch this adaptable plant thrive.
