Planting & Care

Sow seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost. Lightly press seeds into the soil surface, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil moist and maintain a temperature of 65-70°F. Germination typically occurs in 14-21 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and harden off before planting outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.

Plant in a location with well-drained soil and partial to full sun. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. Once established, cranesbill is relatively drought tolerant. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming. In late fall, cut back foliage to ground level to promote healthy growth in spring. Divide clumps every 3-4 years to maintain vigor.
