Wooly Geranium

Wooly Geranium (Geranium erianthum) is a perennial herb that thrives in the cooler climates of northern regions such as Alaska, Alberta, and parts of Canada and Asia. Known for its distinctive white to grayish-white hairs covering the stems and leaves, this plant stands out with a height of about 0.3 meters. It prefers moist soils and can tolerate both full sun and partial shade, making it adaptable in various environments within its native range. The edible parts include flowers and leaves, which are often used for their light, airy texture. This hardy plant is well-suited to soil types ranging from light (sandy) to heavy (clay), with a pH between 4 and 7.5, and can survive in USDA zones 3-7.
