bloody cranesbill

Bloody cranesbill (Geranium sanguineum 'Vision') should be watered moderately at least once every week. Water until the soil feels slightly damp and then allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Be careful not to overwater this plant as it does not tolerate excess moisture. In the summer months, increase watering slightly to twice a week, but make sure it is never soggy. In the winter months, reduce watering to once every 2 weeks or so, depending on the ambient temperature.

Bloody cranesbill (Geranium sanguineum 'Vision') grows best in full sun or part shade. In general, this plant species should receive approximately 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. It is important to provide adequate sunlight during the morning sun and early afternoon sun for optimum growth and flowering. During the hottest part of the day, some protection from direct sunlight is recommended to prevent the plant from drying out. When placed in part sun, which is a situation that provides a mix of direct sunlight and indirect light, be sure to give the plant more direct sunlight in the morning and afternoon hours.

Bloody cranesbill (Geranium sanguineum 'Vision') should be pruned in early summer, as soon as flowering has finished. Pruning should be moderate, removing no more than 1 third of the plant material. This should be done over several sessions rather than all at once. Remove dead, damaged, or diseased material as well as any weak or leggy stems to encourage vigorous new growth. Be sure to maintain the natural shape of the plant while pruning.
