Cup-shaped, lavender-pink flowers appear above a carpet of deeply lobed, green foliage from late spring thru midsummer. This is an especially strong grower and long-blooming selection, and it will benefit from being deadheaded. The intricately cut leaves are green for most of the season but earn their namesake from the brilliant crimson-red they turn in fall. This species is so adapatable that it handles both hot summer and cold winter climates with ease. 'Alpenglow' originates from Alpenglow Nursery in British Columbia.

Homeowner Growing & Maintenance Tips:
G. sanguinum is one of the most adapatable species in this genus. Though it prefers moist, well-drained soil, it will also tolerate periods of drought once established. For this reason, it is a good choice for southern gardens. Bloody Cranesbill will grow in full sun or part shade. In too much shade, however, the habit will be less compact and fewer flowers will be produced. Geraniums are generally considered pest free. They are also resistant to walnut toxicity. They require little care once established, but may be divided every 3-4 years.
