Description
Album Cranesbill is a reliable perennial for Massachusetts gardeners, known for its ability to withstand both hot summers and cold winters. This hardy cranesbill grows best in moist, well-drained soil with partial to full sun, and adapts well to average garden conditions. It tolerates some drought but flourishes in humusy soil, forming a neat, spreading habit ideal for borders or ground cover.
Although deadheading is optional, trimming side stems can help control spread and maintain shape. Album Cranesbill may self-seed in ideal conditions, adding to its low-maintenance appeal. Lightly shearing the foliage after flowering helps revitalize the plant and promote fresh growth. Propagation is simple by division, tip cuttings, or seed, making Album Cranesbill a versatile and dependable choice for Massachusetts landscapes.
