Step into the garden after dusk and watch the ethereal glow of Midnight Ghost Cranesbill Geranium come alive. This hauntingly elegant geranium features pure white petals intricately veined in blush pink, opening from dark red buds on wine-red stems. The blooms float like tiny butterflies above a sea of deeply lobed foliage that emerges olive green before maturing into a rich, midnight-purple canopy.
Compact and clumping in habit, Midnight Ghost Cranesbill Geranium offers both drama and durability. It thrives in full sun to partial shade, forming dense, weed-suppressing mats perfect for slopes, rock gardens, or the front of borders. The contrast between its ghostly white flowers and dark foliage is striking by day—and simply spellbinding in the soft light of evening.
Beyond its beauty, this perennial is a garden workhorse: drought-tolerant once established, deer- and rabbit-resistant, and delightfully low-maintenance. Midnight Ghost Cranesbill Geranium blooms from early summer through fall, returning year after year to add a mysterious glow to your landscape.

MIDNIGHT GHOST CRANESBILL GERANIUM Homeowner Growing & Maintenance Tips
- Recommended Soil:
- Prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soil.
- Tolerates sandy, loamy, or slightly rocky soils.
- Once established, adapts to drier soil—excellent for slopes and borders.
- Sun Exposure:
- Full sun to part shade; tolerates more shade in warmer climates.
- Best foliage color and flowering occur with at least 4–6 hours of sun daily.
- Irrigation Needs:
- Keep evenly moist during the first growing season.
- Once established, moderate watering is sufficient; drought tolerant thereafter.
- Avoid waterlogged conditions to prevent root stress.
- Feeding & Nutrients:
- Fertilize lightly in early spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer.
- A layer of compost or leaf mold in spring helps retain moisture and improve soil health.
- Avoid overfeeding—too much nitrogen encourages excess foliage with fewer blooms.
- Pruning & Maintenance:
- Deadhead spent blooms to extend the flowering season.
- After flowering, lightly shear or trim for a tidy mound and possible rebloom.
- In late fall or early spring, cut back old foliage to make way for new growth.

- A Pollinator's Playground: Bees and butterflies frequent its long-lasting blooms, adding life and movement to your garden all summer long.
- Built for Tough Spots: Thrives in dry, rocky, or sloped conditions—where other perennials might struggle, Midnight Ghost flourishes with minimal fuss.
- Garden Ghost, Not Garden Pest: Despite its haunting beauty, it's no troublemaker: drought tolerant, deer and rabbit resistant, and reliably perennial year after year.
