Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and cover with a thin layer of soil, as light aids germination. Keep the growing medium consistently moist and maintain a temperature around 65 to 70°F. Germination typically occurs within 2 to 4 weeks, though it can be irregular.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce seedlings have several sets of true leaves, transplant them outdoors after hardening off. Choose a location with well-drained soil and partial to full sun. Water regularly during the first growing season to help plants establish. In subsequent years, cranesbill is relatively drought-tolerant once established. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming and to prevent unwanted self-seeding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Tuberosum Geranium seeds (Hardy Purple Cranesbill).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67776105873718,"sku":"FOLIA-015","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7394261937_i393.jpg?v=1792467573","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/25-tuberosum-geranium-seeds-hardy-purple-cranesbill","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
