Erodium glandulosum

Erodium glandulosum is also called black-eyed heron’s bill, for the dark patch of coloring in the centre of every flower. It is native to the Pyrenees. Because it is used to living in mountainous areas where soil quality is poor, gardeners often put it in rock gardens, edging areas and containers.
