watering
Cranesbill (Geranium 'Dragon Heart') should be watered about once a week with 1-2 inches of water. The soil should be kept moist but not soggy, and the water should be allowed to drain away from the plant. During the hottest months, additional water may be required to keep the soil from drying out completely. Cranesbill (Geranium 'Dragon Heart') should be watered in the early morning to ensure that the leaves stay dry throughout the day to help ward off disease.
sunlight
Cranesbill (Geranium 'Dragon Heart') thrives in full sun. This plant needs at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day in order to assume its full shape and color. Morning sun is the best for cranesbill plants as full midday sun can be too intense. Bursts of afternoon sun are also tolerated. Even though this plant loves to get plenty of sunshine, it is best to avoid intensive afternoon sunlight during the hottest days of the summer.
pruning
Cranesbill (Geranium 'Dragon Heart') should be pruned by about 1-third of its original size in late winter or early spring. In late spring or early summer, it should be pruned again once it begins to look leggy or overgrown. During this second pruning, dead or diseased stems should be removed and any stems that have become too long should be cut back. Doing this will ensure that the plant keeps its attractive shape and will encourage new blooming growth.
