Geranium “Crane’s-bill” Mix Flowers

Description

Crane’s-bill” is a common name often used to refer to plants in the genus Geranium, particularly those belonging to the Geranium sanguineum species. However, it’s also a term used for some species within the Erodium genus, which are commonly known as storksbill or filarees.

If you’re referring to a mix of flowers labeled as “Geranium ‘Crane’s-bill’ mix,” it likely consists of various cultivars of Geranium species that have been bred to produce a mix of colors, sizes, and growth habits. These cultivars are often hybrids or selections made for their attractive flowers and garden performance.

Here are some general care tips for growing Geraniums, including those in a mix labeled as “Crane’s-bill”:

1. Light: Geraniums prefer full sun to partial shade. They perform best in bright, indirect light and require at least 6 hours of sunlight daily for optimal growth and flowering.
2. Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water geraniums thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, and allow excess water to drain away. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot and other issues.
3. Soil: Plant Geraniums in well-draining, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. A commercial potting mix formulated for flowering plants works well. Ensure that the soil is loose and aerated to promote healthy root growth.
4. Temperature: Geraniums prefer moderate temperatures between 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C). Protect them from frost and temperature extremes, as cold temperatures can damage the foliage and inhibit flowering.
5. Fertilization: Feed Geraniums with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4 to 6 weeks during the growing season (spring to fall). Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, as they can promote excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowering.
6. Pruning: Prune Geraniums regularly to maintain their shape and encourage bushy growth. Remove spent flowers and leggy or dead stems to promote continuous blooming. Pinch back the growing tips to encourage branching and more compact growth.
7. Propagation: Geraniums can be propagated from stem cuttings, division, or seeds. Stem cuttings are the most common method and can be taken from healthy, non-flowering shoots in spring or summer. Root the cuttings in moist potting mix or water until new roots develop.

By following these care tips and providing the appropriate growing conditions, you can enjoy a mix of colorful and attractive Geranium ‘Crane’s-bill’ flowers in your garden, containers, or hanging baskets.
