Ballet slipper pink flowers with purple veining sit atop lacy gray-green foliage on this low growing, mounded variety; long blooming, perfect for borders, beds and containers; low maintenance-deadhead to encourage new blooms throughout the summer season

Ballerina Cranesbill has masses of beautiful shell pink flowers with indigo eyes and purple veins at the ends of the stems from late spring to late summer, which are most effective when planted in groupings. Its deeply cut lobed palmate leaves remain grayish green in color throughout the season.
It is a dense herbaceous perennial with a mounded form. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other garden plants with less refined foliage. This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and should only be pruned after flowering to avoid removing any of the current season’s flowers. Deer don’t particularly care for this plant and will usually leave it alone in favor of tastier treats.
