Planting & Care

Sow seeds indoors in late winter or early spring, or directly outdoors in fall after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep them moist, as light aids germination. Maintain consistent moisture and provide partial shade for best results. Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them to their permanent location after hardening off.

Wild geranium thrives in rich, well-drained soil and benefits from a layer of mulch to retain moisture. Water regularly during dry spells, especially in the first year. Divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor. Avoid waterlogged soils, which can cause root rot.
