Endres's cranesbill

Endres's cranesbill (Geranium endressii) should be watered with enough frequency to keep the soil moist, but not too wet. Water once a week, preferably in the morning, and allow the top inch or 2 of soil to dry out between waterings. This will help prevent too much moisture from sitting in the soil for long periods of time and causing rot. Provide extra water during periods of extreme heat or prolonged dry spells.

Endres's cranesbill (Geranium endressii) is a small evergreen perennial plant that requires full sun to light shade and consistent moisture. This species grows best in well-draining soil with a pH level of 6.5-7.5. For optimal growth and blooming, this species should receive a full 8-10 hours of direct sunlight per day. It grows best in climates with mild winters and moist, but not overly wet summers with temperatures between 60–80°F (15–27°C). In too little sun, it may falter and fail to bloom abundantly. Additionally, with too much shade, the plant may become leggy and thin.

Endres's cranesbill is a low-maintenance perennial, but it can benefit from occasional pruning to encourage growth and flowering. The best time to prune your Endres's cranesbill is in late summer or early fall, when the flowers have started to fade and the foliage looks a bit straggly. Pruning should just be done lightly - removing any dead or damaged stems and lightly shaping any leggy stems. It is not necessary to prune heavily, as this can damage the plant and reduce flowering in the next season.
