Geranium brevicaule, commonly known as Short-stemmed Geranium, is an evergreen perennial herb. It is native to Australia and New Zealand. This plant typically grows to a height of 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) and spreads to a similar width. Geranium brevicaule has a compact growth habit with deeply lobed leaves that provide textural interest in the garden. The flowers are small, pink to purple, and bloom in late spring to early summer, offering a modest yet charming display. The plant does not produce notable fruit or berries.

Short-stemmed Geranium is valued for its drought tolerance and low maintenance requirements, making it suitable for rock gardens, borders, and ground cover in dry areas. It thrives in well-drained soil, tolerates a range of soil types, and prefers full sun to part shade. While it is generally disease-resistant, it can be susceptible to root rot if overwatered. This Geranium species is not known for aggressive roots or invasiveness, making it a safe choice for small garden spaces.CC BY-SA 4.0
