| Description | Found in the shade of pine/fir woodlands at the highest elevations in Arizona. In cooler gardens this could be a great addition to a mixed native wildflower bed. This plant would also pair well with the closely related wild geranium (G. caespitosum). Try planting as an understory in a grove of juniper (Juniperus deppeana) pine (Pinus edulis), and mountain mahogany (Cercocarpus breviflorus). |
