Purple Violet Geranium - Geranium Soboliferum - Southern California Garden Stock Photography

Purple and violet Geranium soboliferum growing in a Southern California garden with lush green leaves. Ideal filler, great for nestling into small nooks and crannies, this prolific bloomer is smothered in bright color all summer! Fuchsia-purple flames and veining form a striking starburst pattern on the 5-petaled lavender-pink flowers. Foliage transforms to red in fall.A remarkably diverse group of plants, perennial Geraniums come in a wide range of shapes, colors and sizes. The common name Cranesbill comes from the seedpods which resemble the beak of a crane.
