To the unsuspecting novice, Herb Robert (Geranium robertianum), also called Robert’s geranium, looks to be a splendid native wildflower. Preferring to grow on woodland edges, the delicate pink flowers adorn the long fuzzy red stems against a backdrop of elegant lacy foliage. So effortlessly does it form large drifts among the ferns and salal that it almost seems wrong to assume it’s a stranger from a far-off land. But that’s exactly what it wants you to believe.
