(Cransbill) Geranium ‘Purple Glow’ is a hardy perennial geranium that lives up to its name, lighting up the garden with a soft, luminous wash of violet-purple blooms. Each five-petaled flower features delicate veining and a subtle glow that stands out beautifully against the mounded green foliage. Blooming from late spring through midsummer and often sporadically again later in the season with a trim this variety adds long-lasting color and texture to borders, cottage gardens, and naturalized areas.

Growing about 10-12 inches tall with a spread of up to 14 inches, ‘Purple Glow’ forms a dense, spreading mound that’s perfect for filling gaps between taller perennials or softening the edges of paths and garden beds. It thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil but tolerates a variety of conditions once established.

This easy-care perennial is both deer and rabbit resistant, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance gardens. Its blooms attract bees and butterflies, while the finely cut foliage provides season-long interest, even after flowering. Hardy in zones 3 to 8, Geranium ‘Purple Glow’ is a graceful and dependable performer that adds a gentle glow of color wherever it’s planted.
