Though Cranesbill will adapt to a variety of growing conditions, it prefers moist, organic, well-drained soil, it will also tolerate periods of drought once established. Cranesbill will grow in full sun or part shade. In too much shade, however, its habit will be less compact and fewer flowers will be produced. Carefree once established, if flowers diminish, summer heat wilts them or they just need a trim, cut or sheared back plant to rejuvenate, shape or encourage additional bloom.
Easy to grow, use as border plants, containers, and in mass plantings. Hardy geraniums are wonderful filler plants for any landscape, either residential or commercial. They blend nicely with most other perennials and offer continuous color throughout the summer months. Geraniums are generally considered pest free; deer and rabbit resistant. |
