Geranium maculatum, an Ohio native, is a relative of the common bedding geranium (Pelargonium × hortorum). This list includes plants native and introduced to the state of Ohio, designated (N) and (I), respectively. Varieties and subspecies link to their parent species.
The leaves are palmately compound with five leaflets 8–16 cm (3– 6 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) long and broad. The flowers are produced in panicles in spring, red, yellow to yellow-green, each flower 2–3 cm (3 ⁄ 4 – 1 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) long with the stamens longer than the petals (unlike the related yellow buckeye, where the stamens are shorter than the petals).
Plants flower late fall into winter in the Deep south, and mid-winter in cooler regions. The yellow blossoms stand in elegant, upright sprays atop the foliage and attract a variety of pollinators.
Like many bulb plants from temperate regions, a period of exposure to cold is necessary before spring growth can begin. This protects the plant from growth during winter when intense cold may damage it. Warmer spring temperatures then initiate growth from the bulb. O. umbellatum spreads aggressively in clumps by means of these offsets. [16] [30]
The buds are hairy. The dark green leaves are bitter-aromatic, with crenate margins. [3] [6] The stalked follicles are green and then turn red [6] through deep blue through black. [3] [7] Flowers are dioecious, with yellow-green petals. [8] Flowers appear as umbrella-like clusters from 2–12 in small terminal to axillary umbellate clusters.
Winter heath is a reliable winter flower, even in cold climates. The long-lasting flowers come in various shades of pink or white with evergreen foliage. Heath also makes a pretty, dense ground cover.
