Geranium sibiricum, commonly known as Siberian cranesbill, is a herbaceous perennial plant native to a variety of habitats including forest margins, meadows, grasslands, and riverbanks in temperate regions of Asia and Eastern Europe, including Romania. It typically grows to a height of 8-24 inches (20-60 cm) and features a clumping growth habit with thin, heavily branched stems. The foliage consists of small, deeply lobed leaves that are green in color, providing a delicate texture in garden settings.

Siberian cranesbill is valued for its resilience and adaptability, making it a suitable choice for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance plant. It produces small, violet-blue flowers with rounded petals from late spring to early summer, which are moderately showy and attract pollinators. This species is often used in border plantings, rock gardens, and as ground cover due to its spreading nature. It thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers moist, well-drained soils but can tolerate a range of soil conditions. While generally disease-resistant, it can be susceptible to rust and leaf spot. Siberian cranesbill is not known for aggressive roots or significant invasiveness, but it can self-seed and spread within the garden if not managed.CC BY-SA 4.0
