Geranium carolinianum, cranesbill or Carolina geranium, is a cool season North American native. It can be annual or biennial, taking two years to complete its lifecycle. It has pink to red erect to semi-erect stems that are 8 to 16 inches tall. Fine hairs cover the whole plant except for the flowers. The deeply dissected leaves are palmate, shaped like the palm of a hand and may be opposite or alternate. There is sometimes a deep red to brown trim along their edge. In southeast Texas, leaves are seen in early to mid-winter. Pieces of the stem and leaves mixed in soil control some organisms that are harmful to certain crops.
