How Do You Grow Wild Geraniums

Although a native plant in our area, wild geranium is easily cultivated and can be grown as an ornamental plant in gardens. Plant it in rich soil with plenty of organic matter in full sun or light shade and provide plenty of moisture for the best growth. Plants flower more prolifically the more sun they receive.

How quickly does wild geranium spread?

Flowers appear on wild geranium plants in late spring to early summer, over a period of six to seven weeks. The flowering window lengthens when temperatures stay on the cool side. Flowers appear in loose clusters above the deep green lobed leaves and face upward as they open.

Is wild geranium easy to grow from seed?

Though these plants easily self-seed, volunteer plants can easily be removed or transplanted. Wild geraniums attract butterflies and bees.
