Geranium carolinianum
Carolina Cranesbill
It can be confusing because "geranium" is also the common name of members of the genus Pelargonium. Geranium flowers have five very similar petals, and are thus symmetrical, whereas pelargonium flowers have two upper petals which are different from the three lower petals. Pelargoniums are mostly used in hanging baskets, pots or bedding schemes and are a popular summer addition to garden planting. Carolina Cranesbill is an annual or biennial. It will re-seed. It is a much-branched and sprawling plant, usually no taller than 30cm. New:
