Description
Striatum Cranesbill is a resilient, spreading perennial that thrives in Massachusetts gardens with minimal care. It performs best in moist, humusy soil with good drainage, tolerating both sun and partial shade. Its ability to endure heat and cold better than many other geraniums makes Striatum Cranesbill especially well-suited for New England climates.
This variety produces vibrant blooms through the growing season and may self-seed if left undisturbed. Shearing the foliage after flowering keeps the plant tidy and encourages new growth. While deadheading is unnecessary, it can enhance the plant’s tidy appearance. Easy to propagate and control, Striatum Cranesbill adds dependable color to any Massachusetts garden.
Each plant comes in a #1 (1 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
*This plant may not be in bloom at the time of purchase. Whether pre- or post-bloom, rest assured it’s healthy—just not at its showiest.
