Lightly press seeds into the soil surface, as they require light to germinate. Maintain a temperature of 65-70°F and keep the soil consistently moist. Germination typically occurs in 14-28 days. Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and harden off before moving outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant 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, Purple Cranesbill is drought-tolerant and requires minimal care. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage reblooming and cut back foliage in late autumn to promote healthy spring growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Purple Cranesbill Geranium seeds (Geranium x magnificum).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67776109478198,"sku":"FOLIA-067","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7391024857_4jvm.jpg?v=1792467665","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/25-purple-cranesbill-geranium-seeds-magnificum-hardy-perennial","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
