Geranium albanum, the crested cranesbill or Albanian cranesbill,[lower-alpha 1] is a species of flowering plant in the family Geraniaceae, native to the Caucasus and northern Iran.[1][2] A clumping perennial reaching 50 cm (20 in), the Royal Horticultural Society considers it a good plant to attract pollinators.[3] There is a cultivar, 'Pink and Stripes'.[2]
