Geranium molle is a small plant reaching on average 5–30 centimetres (2.0–11.8 in) in height.

The basal leaves are arranged in a rosette, the upper ones are sessile, rounded and hairy, with a long petiole of about 5–12 millimetres (0.20–0.47 in).

It prefers sunny places on sandy and relatively dry soils, at an altitude of 0–1,000 metres (0–3,281 ft) above sea level.

[3] Nicholas Culpeper in his herbal of 1652 suggested a variety of uses for G. molle, including the treatment of internal and external injuries.

A note was made that the bruised leaf healed external injuries faster.
