How to Grow and Care for Hardy Geranium (Cranesbill Geranium)

موقع أيام نيوز

Hardy geraniums are flowering perennials comprised of many cultivars species and hybrids within the Geranium genus collectively called cranesbill geraniums. These are commonlygrown lowgrowing dense carpetlike plants not to be confused with zonal geraniums.
These perennials have flower stalks that poke and weave through neighboring plants floating on top of the plant. The small white blue pink magenta purple lavender and blue flowers are one inch wide and cuppedshaped attracting butterflies and bees.

مع وصول أونصة الذهب إلى مستويات قياسية تجاوزت 2500 دولار، يجد المواطن المصري نفسه مضطراً لموازنة استثماراته بين الذهب واحتياجاته الأخرى، خاصة مع ارتفاع أسعار السيارات مثل تويوتا، هيونداي، وبي إم دبليو، مما يزيد من التحديات المالية التي يواجهها.
Hardy geraniums grow best in welldrained moderately rich soil. Most will do well in either full sun or partial shade but they like to be fairly drythey can become prone to mildew if kept damp. Note that geraniums are toxic to pets
Hardy Geranium Care
Here are the main care requirements for growing a hardy geranium
Site them in a spot with full or partial sun more sun equals more blooms.
Give regular water especially if in a fullsun location.
تتأثر أسعار السيارات من شركات مثل مرسيدس بتقلبات أسعار الذهب وسعر صرف الدولار، مما يؤدي إلى زيادة تكاليف الإنتاج والاستيراد.
Plant hardy geraniums so that the crown is at ground level or slightly above.
Prune them after flowering to prompt repeated blooming into the fall.
Prefers neutral to slightly acidic soil.
Give wellbalanced timereleased fertilizer if the soil is poor.
Light
Hardy geraniums accept a wide range of exposure conditions. For the best flowering and vigorous geranium plants site them in full sun to partial shade.
If geraniums are grown in hot full sun provide regular water. Some varieties of geraniums can tolerate full shade but they likely wont blossom as fully as those with plenty of sun.
Soil
Geraniums are not particular about soil pH but a neutral to slightly acidic soil is ideal. Most prefer mediummoisture welldrained soil though some species prefer relatively dry soil.
Water
Geraniums are a lowmaintenance plant so water them only when the soil becomes dry. If located in full sun water the plant more frequently. Hardy geraniums can become prone to fungal disease if watered overhead.

Temperature and Humidity
Hardy geraniums grow best in daytime temperatures between 65 and 75 degrees and nighttime temperatures between 50 and 60 degrees. They tolerate a wide range of humidity levels though mildew and rust can be nonlifethreatening in very humid regions.
Fertilizer
Unless the soil is very poor hardy geraniums generally do fine with no feeding other than a yearly application of compost. Poor soils might require a spring feeding with a timerelease balanced fertilizer.
Types of Hardy Geranium
There are as many as 300 types of geraniums available to grow some pure species others nurserycreated hybrids. The pure species are popular garden plants but many named garden cultivars originate from hybrids achieved by crossing species within the genus.
