Sticky Geranium (Geranium viscosissimum) is a hardy perennial native to the mountain meadows, streambanks, and forest edges of the western United States. It’s often found near rivers, shaded by nearby trees. Its upright, clumping form and vivid magenta-pink blooms bring long-lasting color and natural charm to any garden. True to its name, the plant's sticky stems are a curious feature, but more importantly, they offer reliable support to native pollinators throughout the growing season. Sticky Geranium prefers partial shade, especially here in Utah, making it a standout choice for those tricky garden spots with less direct sun. It’s a solid choice for gardeners who want a long-blooming, unfussy plant that weaves color into native plantings, cottage gardens, or shaded edges without demanding much in return.
