cranesbill

Cranesbill (Geranium oxonianum 'Bressingham's Delight') prefer moist soil. During the spring and summer, water whenever the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry to the touch. Avoid frequent sprinkling, and instead water deeply and thoroughly until it starts to run out of the bottom of the pot. In fall and winter, only water when the soil is completely dry. When watering, use lukewarm water and water at the soil level to avoid wetting the leaves.

Cranesbill (Geranium oxonianum 'Bressingham's Delight') typically prefers full sun during the morning and early afternoon, with light shade or dappled shade during the heat of the day. This plant does best when it receives at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day, with the light filtered or bright but not intense. In areas with high temperatures, afternoon shade is recommended.

Cranesbill (Geranium oxonianum 'Bressingham's Delight') should be pruned lightly after its main flowering period from mid-August until mid-September. During this time, snip off any dead flowers and prune any stems that have become leggy or straggly. This pruning helps to encourage new growth and a more compact shape for the plant. It is also important to lightly prune the plant after the first frosts in late autumn in order to leave enough bushy foliage for overwinter protection. Always use sharp pruning shears and avoid anything too harsh or drastic.
