Description
Mr Fothergill’s Meadow Cranesbill Seeds, Trouble free, native hardy geranium. Can be found growing wild in hedgerows, grassland and on roadsides, making it an ideal addition to the flower border and wildlife areas.
Sow indoors, for surest results, 1.5cm deep, in a tray of compost. Water well and place in a cold frame, unheated greenhouse or on a warm kitchen windowsill. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 14-35 days, but germination may be erratic. Further germination may be prompted by covering seed tray with glass or clear plastic and leaving outside to chill for 2-3 weeks before bringing back into a gentle warmth. Transplant seedlings individually as they appear to 8cm pots. (Always handle by a leaf, never by the stem.) Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 30cm apart.
• A hardy perennial, flowers the year after sowing
• Ideal for cottage garden borders and wild areas
• A favourite of bumblebees and bullfinches
Sow time: Jan-Apr
