Geranium sessiliflorum, commonly known as Sticky Geranium or Dwarf Cranesbill, is a perennial herb native to South America . It thrives in a variety of habitats including grasslands, rocky outcrops, and forest margins, often at elevations up to 1600 meters. This plant exhibits a moderate growth rate, reaching a height of 0.2-0.6 feet (0.06-0.2 meters) and a width of 0.2-0.4 feet (0.1-0.1 meters). The Sticky Geranium is characterized by its sticky stems and deeply lobed leaves. It produces white to pale pink flowers with notched petals that bloom profusely in the spring and summer, adding a delicate charm to garden settings.

The plant is valued for its low-growing, mat-forming habit, making it an excellent choice for rock gardens, alpine collections, and as a ground cover. Its ability to adapt to various soil types, including clay, loam, and sandy soils, coupled with its preference for medium or fast drainage, makes it a versatile addition to the garden. Sticky Geranium requires medium amounts of water and can tolerate both full sun and part shade, providing flexibility in garden design. While generally disease-free, it can occasionally suffer from rust or mildew in overly moist conditions.CC BY-SA 4.0
