The foliage of this Geranium - Herb Robert - also turns red after it has
flowered, and lasts through to Autumn - so it is also a good ornamental herb -
though can get invasive if not kept under control. Best described as an
attractive garden weed!

Herbalism Herb Robert is used to ease toothache and nosebleeds. An
infusion which is made from the whole plant, but not the root, can be used for diuretic and
tonic effect. It can also be used as a mouthwash. It has also been used as a
