Geranium carolinianum, also known as Carolina crane's-bill or Carolina geranium, is a native species of geranium found throughout North America in various habitats. It has two varieties and can be considered invasive in some regions. The plant has erect stems with spiky hairs and palmate leaves that are divided into five segments. The flowers are small and white, pink, or lavender in color, and bloom from late May to July. The fruit has a beak-like structure, giving the plant its nickname of "Cranesbill." It has a taproot system and can survive in arid and nutrient-poor conditions. The plant has potential medicinal uses, including fighting Hepatitis B and treating inflammatory issues. It is also a preferred food source for certain insects and animals. While it can be considered invasive in some states, it is also cultivated for its attractive flowers.
