Short Description
Erodium is a genus of flowering plants in the botanical family Geraniaceae. The genus includes about 60 species, native to North Africa, Indomalaya, the Middle East, and Australia. They are perennials, annuals, or subshrubs, with five-petalled flowers in shades of white, pink, and purple, that strongly resemble the better-known Geranium (cranesbill). Cultivated plants are known as filarees or heron’s bill in North America, whereas in the British Isles they are usually called storksbills.
Cultivation
In cultivation, erodiums are usually seen in rockeries or alpine gardens.
The hybrid cultivar E. × variabile ‘Roseum’ (E. corsicum × E. reichardii), a compact, spreading perennial with rose-pink flowers in summer, has gained the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit.
