Description
This delicate wildflower is a European introduction that has naturalized in North America and is an attractive member of the geranium family. Herb Robert, or what was once known as Saint Robert's Herb, was named after a French monk who lived in 1000 AD and cured many people suffering from various diseases using this plant. It is a sprawling plant well-known for its unpleasant smell and its vibrant bright pink flowers. This plant flowers from spring all the way into October if the weather conditions are good. Although it is easy to control, it has the ability to spread and take over native habitat quickly and prolifically. It is considered a noxious herb in the states of Washington and Oregon in the United States.
