The spread of non-native invasive plants has serious ecological, economic and health impacts. Local governments and other partners are asking for help from all residents to report and address shiny geranium outbreaks on private property and public lands. This plant is a high priority to eradicate before further spread occurs. Please report all plants!
Shiny geranium is native to Eurasia and Northern Africa. In British Columbia, shiny geranium is found in the Capital Region, and in a few sites in the Lower Mainland. Within the capital region, there are patches in Langford, North Saanich, Otter Point, Saanich, Victoria and on Salt Spring Island.
