This cranesbill is one of the most vigorous hardy geraniums and is ideal for the front of a sunny border, although it will cope with a fairly shady spot. Cranesbill is generally quite adaptable to a variety of growing conditions. Though it prefers moist, well drained soil, it will also tolerate periods of drought once established. For this reason, it is a good choice for southern gardens. It is best to lift and divide large colonies in spring. Their carefree growing habits make them an ideal low maintenance plant that will grow anywhere and provide years of beauty.
