Landscape Uses and Maintenance – Wild Geranium

Wild Geranium is a native woodland plant. It has purple flowers with five petals that will attract bees to your garden. Flowers are upright and stems are covered in small hairs. Leaves are lovely and fragrant, making a stunning backdrop for these delicate small flowers.

It is a plant that loves shade and grows best in partial to full shade conditions. Remarkable en masse, is a great option for underplanting a large area. Plant with Soloman’s seal, Bleeding Heart, and Dutchman’s Breeches.

Add to your border or woodland inspired garden for a spectacular display through spring and early summer.

Generally it is a low maintenance plant; however, note that the more sun you give it, the more watering is required. You will know it has too much sun from yellowing, sun-scalded leaves. Plant in the shade to let Mother Nature do the watering for you.

To best support this plant’s growth, fertilize it in spring with a balanced organic fertilizer and give the soil plenty of organic matter, humus, or compost to mimic woodland soil conditions.

Deer and other pests will avoid this plant. It is disease resistant, too.

Noteworthy Characteristics

Wild Geranium is a fast-growing plant that is easy to propagate. This is a plant that will naturalize in your garden over time, spreading via rhizomes. To control the spread of this plant simply remove the clumps you do not want – and if you are feeling generous, share with your neighbors! Make sure when removing to include pulling out the roots.

Seeds are explosive. The seedpods propel the seeds far away from the plant once mature. To limit the spread of seeds simply prune off spent flowers and immature seedpods.

Attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.

Growth

I planted the wild geraniums and cardinal flowers as soon as I received them. How long does it take to see any growth coming out?
I thought I planted them right.
Any suggestions or advice to know what to do or just do nothing.

More than I ordered

I received a bag full of many bare roots, more than I ordered of the Wild Geranium. I planted them all yesterday as directed and am looking forward to seeing them come up in the spring.

Wild Geranium Rhizomes

I received the wild geranium rhizomes quickly. They are planted in pots at this point & I will transplant them to a forever home this fall. I can’t wait to see how they progress.

They looked good. You just have to be patient to see if them come up. I've had pretty good luck except for the Trillium bulbs you sent.
