Field notes: Richardson Geranium can be found growing in wet,
shady areas along roads, meadows, and clearings in the aspen or
pine forest. The folks who spend their lives creating new plants
for gardeners have cross bred many of the wild Geraniums to
develop the hybrid plants that can be found at your local Garden
Center.
