This perennial geranium forms neat mounds of deeply lobed green foliage that knit together into an effective ground cover, softening borders and filling spaces between shrubs. The flowers appear over a long season, bringing color to beds, rock gardens, and cottage-style plantings while attracting pollinators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHardy cranesbills are dependable, low-maintenance garden plants that return year after year. Dilys works well as a front-of-border accent, along pathways, or as a weed-suppressing ground cover on sunny to partly shaded sites. Its compact growth and long bloom period make it a versatile choice for mixed perennial gardens and informal landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePurple flowers held above low, mounding foliage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong blooming season for extended garden color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpreading habit suited to ground cover use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardy perennial that returns each year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttracts pollinators to the garden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Geranium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardy perennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained garden soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate; keep evenly moist while establishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low, spreading mound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late spring through summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Space plants about 12 to 18 inches apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSow seeds indoors in a seed-starting mix, pressing them lightly into the surface and keeping the medium consistently moist but not soggy. Provide bright light and moderate warmth for germination, and be patient, as cranesbill seeds can be slow and uneven to sprout. Once seedlings have several true leaves and danger of frost has passed, harden them off gradually before transplanting into the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose a site with well-drained soil and sun to partial shade. Water young plants regularly during their first season to help roots establish, then reduce watering as plants mature. A light trim after the first flush of bloom can encourage fresh growth and additional flowers. Dilys geranium is generally low maintenance once established.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Dilys Geranium seeds for planting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824625025334,"sku":"FOLIA2-799","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7356069894_4m3d.jpg?v=1793003732","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/25-dilys-geranium-seeds-purple-hardy-cranesbill-perennial-ground-cover","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
