Wild geranium, also called Carolina geranium, is a semi-erect winter annual. The erect stems are branching and covered with hair. The alternate leaves are on long petioles and are divided into segmented leaflets which are blunt toothed. The flowers have 5 white to pink petals and form in clusters. The seed forms in a fruit capsule that forms a "storks bill". |

Carolina geranium is found throughout the United States and Canada.
| Integrated Pest Management Control Recommendations: |
Cultural Practices:
Individual wild geranium plants can be removed by pulling or digging.
Removal should be performed prior to flower and seed formation. Follow
good turf management practices to create a dense competitive stand of
turfgrass.
Herbicide Use:
Make your postemergent herbicide application to wild geranium that is
actively growing and in the rosette to flower stage of growth.
