cranesbill

Cranesbill (Geranium macrorrhizum 'Ingwersens Variety') grows best with moderate to low amounts of water. It should be watered deeply, but less often, allowing the soil to dry out to a depth of about an inch between waterings. Waterings should occur every 7 to 10 days in the summer and every 10 to 14 days in the winter. To ensure it is properly watered, check the soil for moisture before each watering. If it is dry, then the plant needs to be watered. If it is wet, then wait until it has had a chance to dry out before watering.

Cranesbill (Geranium macrorrhizum 'Ingwersens Variety') is best grown in full sun or partial shade. This plant species prefers to receive 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day. It is best to provide morning sunlight and afternoon shade to help protect the plants from the intense midday sun. To ensure a healthy, robust plant, provide regular, consistent sunlight for cranesbill.

Cranesbill (Geranium macrorrhizum 'Ingwersens Variety') should be pruned once a year or bi-annually, depending on how vigorously the plant is growing. In general, it should be pruned when the new growth begins to take over the old growth, which usually occurs at the beginning of the season (spring in most areas). Pruning should be done by cutting off the dying or dead stems and leaves at the base. At least half of the plant's foliage should be left intact so it can produce flowers and foliage. If the plants become too overgrown, it can be more severely pruned back to 6 inches in height.
