Lightly press seeds into the soil surface and keep moist; germination benefits from a period of cold stratification. Maintain even moisture until seedlings are established, then thin or transplant to 12-18 inches apart. Provide bright light for strong growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce established, Bloody Cranesbill is low-maintenance and drought tolerant. Water during prolonged dry spells, deadhead to encourage continued bloom, and cut back spent foliage in late winter.
