Meadow Cranesbill

Growing from seed

Start Meadow Cranesbill indoors about 8 weeks before your last frost, keeping seeds in cooler soil (around 10–18 °C). Seeds usually come up in around 21 days. Move seedlings out once the danger of frost has passed, in partial sun, spaced about 45 cm apart. Expect the first blooms in roughly 90 days.

Keep track of the seeds you own.
