The Darkest Flowers Yet

Nearly black and so abundant, the flowers of this hardy geranium appear for months.

Raven is a stylish new Cranesbill (Hardy Geranium) you simply must try in the shade border. Unlike older varieties, it is bushy and full, reaching up to 2 feet high and wide in full bloom. And its flowers are one of a kind—a deep, midnight violet that looks black from even a few feet away, but secretly boasts streaks of blue and even deep red. The eye of each bloom is white, adding a sparkle to the bold presentation.

These 1-inch blooms begin in mid-spring in many climates, continuing right on through late summer. They dot the well-branched, billowy plant, standing out nicely among the large, lobed, soft green foliage. This shade-loving Hardy Geranium is a great companion to astilbe, hosta, and heuchera, meandering without ever being invasive or aggressive. You will love how its soft contours contrast with neighboring plants' habits in the garden.

Like all Hardy Geraniums, Raven attracts pollinators with its nectar-filled blooms. Butterflies and bees are frequent visitors, making it a valuable addition to any setting.

Raven is a seedling of Lily Lovell, a Hardy Geranium famous for its early blooms and large flower size. We think the child has outdone the parent, however—these black blooms are so eyecatching and long-lasting. Find a special place for this shade lover in your landscape this season.
