For cranesbill, choose a sunny or semi-shady spot. It will thrive best in naturally humous and loamy soil that holds nutrients well but at the same time does not remain waterlogged. When planting in a bed, keep a spacing of about 40 centimeters, which corresponds to roughly six to nine plants per square meter. This space is crucial to ensure adequate air circulation. Although cranesbills are highly resistant to pests, powdery mildew could appear in too dense a stand. An airy spot and a less dense stand will naturally prevent this problem.
During the growing season, this perennial requires medium watering. Keep the soil slightly moist, especially in the warmer summer months, when the cranesbill blooms with blue-purple flowers from June to August. You can boldly cut these flowers for a vase, and what's more, they will reliably attract bees and butterflies to the garden. After the main flowering, don't be afraid to cut the plant back slightly. This pruning will support the formation of new, attractively colored burgundy to bronze leaves and keep the perennial in perfect condition until autumn. Fertilizing early in the spring with ordinary compost is sufficient.
Thanks to its compact growth, which reaches thirty to forty centimeters, this variety is absolutely ideal for growing in containers and window boxes. When planting in a pot, don't forget a good drainage layer at the bottom and use a high-quality substrate for perennials. Plants in containers will need slightly more frequent watering than those in a bed. With the arrival of winter, you don't have to worry about protection at all, because this cranesbill can easily handle frosts down to minus 34 degrees. The above-ground part dies back for the winter and in the spring it reliably sprouts again from its strong roots.
