cranesbill ‘Karmina’
Geranium x cantabrigiense ‘Karmina’ (cranesbill ‘Karmina’) is a compact variety of hybrid geranium that makes a small mound of deep pink flowers in the spring.
Cranesbill ‘Karmina’ flowers look different than other geraniums we have in the garden, it reminds one of a pansy in a way. Although this specific cultivar is sterile, the common name cranesbill comes from the elongated seed capsule with a beak-like projection that is said to resemble the head of a crane.
