Geranium berteroanum, commonly known as Pineywoods Geranium, is an evergreen perennial subshrub or herb native to the temperate forests and scrublands of Southern South America, particularly Chile. It typically grows to a height of 1-2 feet (0.3-0.6 meters) and a width of 1-3 feet (0.3-0.9 meters). The plant has a bushy habit with soft, dissected leaves and produces showy pink and white flowers that bloom in the spring and summer, adding a splash of color to the garden.

Pineywoods Geranium is appreciated for its long flowering season and the delicate appearance of its blossoms. It is often used in border plantings, rock gardens, and as ground cover due to its low-growing nature. This geranium prefers cool climates and can be grown in containers where climates are harsher. It requires consistently moist soil, but good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot. While it tolerates full shade to part shade, it will flower more abundantly with morning sun and afternoon shade. There are no major disease problems, but it can be susceptible to rust and should be monitored for pests like aphids and whiteflies. It is not known to be invasive and is generally easy to maintain, making it a suitable choice for gardeners of all skill levels.CC BY-SA 4.0
