Geranium robertianum, commonly known as herb-robert or red robin, is a delicate annual or biennial herb native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa. With its small pink flowers and deeply lobed leaves, it thrives in shady woodlands, hedgerows, and disturbed habitats. Herb-robert blooms from spring to early summer, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. Despite its diminutive size, it has been used in traditional herbal medicine for its purported medicinal properties. Additionally, it provides food and shelter for wildlife, contributing to biodiversity in its habitat.
