Planting & Care
Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Lightly press seeds into the soil surface and keep them moist but not covered, as light aids germination. Maintain a temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C). Germination typically occurs in 14-28 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions before planting in the garden after the danger of frost has passed.
Choose 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, White Cranesbill Geranium is relatively drought tolerant. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming and trim back foliage in late fall or early spring to promote fresh growth.
