25 Wageningen Geranium Seeds - Hardy Perennial Cranesbill with Pink Blooms
Wageningen Geranium is a hardy perennial cranesbill prized for its low, spreading habit and generous display of pink blooms. This geranium brings soft color to garden beds, borders, and rock gardens, and its mounding foliage makes it a useful choice for edging paths or filling in mixed perennial plantings. Once established, cranesbill geraniums are known for being dependable, low-maintenance garden plants that return year after year.
The plants form tidy clumps of green, lobed foliage topped with delicate pink flowers through the growing season. Their compact size and relaxed habit suit cottage gardens, pollinator-friendly borders, and container plantings, and the foliage often takes on attractive tones as the season cools.

Planting & Care
Sow geranium seeds indoors in a seed-starting mix, pressing them lightly into the surface and keeping the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged. Provide warmth and bright light, and be patient, as germination can be gradual. Once seedlings have several true leaves and all danger of frost has passed, harden them off gradually before transplanting into the garden.
Choose a site with well-drained soil and sun to partial shade. Water regularly during the first season to help plants establish, then reduce watering as they settle in. Remove spent flowers to encourage continued bloom, and trim back tired foliage after flowering to keep plants tidy. In cold climates, a light mulch over winter helps protect the crown.
