Bloody Cranesbill
Bloody cranesbill is perennial flower with pretty magenta flowers from June until frost. The peak bloom is in June and July. It spreads underground through rhizomes, forming a dense mat of lobed leaves.
The leaves turn red, purple, and orange in the fall, adding another season of interest. Bloody cranesbill can make a nice groundcover in a moderate water area.
