Transplanting Pink Cranesbill (Geranium) to Shade

A gardener wants to move pink cranesbill to a dense shade spot. Asks if possible and when to trim.

It will survive but flower poorly in deep shade. Better in dappled/light shade.

Spring or fall ideal. Summer works if watered well. Trim to 9 inches after flowering.
