Transplanting and Dividing Cranesbill (Geranium)

Moving Established Cranesbill Clumps

Cranesbill (hardy geranium) tolerates transplanting in late summer or early fall. It prefers part shade to full sun and moist, well-drained soil.

Division Steps

1. Dig around the drip line to preserve root ball.
2. Divide with sharp knife or saw if root ball is large.
3. Prepare new hole slightly deeper; line with composted manure.
4. Spread roots comfortably; backfill and water well.
5. Water weekly if no rain until established.

Dividing every few years prevents overcrowding and rejuvenates flowering.
