About Rozanne Cranesbill

Where to grow Rozanne Cranesbill
Rozanne Cranesbill suits cool-temperate, warm-temperate and Mediterranean climates and grows best in full sun and part shade or morning sun. It is frost hardy and shrugs off cold winters. It also is an award-winning selection.
Soil & planting
Rozanne Cranesbill does best in free-draining and clay soil. Dig in plenty of compost before planting, water in well, and mulch to keep roots cool.
Watering & feeding
Rozanne Cranesbill does best with regular, moderate watering. A light spring feed is usually enough to maintain steady growth. Keep a newly planted specimen evenly watered through its first season; established plants can then follow the water needs above.
Pruning & care
Prune Rozanne Cranesbill after flowering to keep it compact and encourage the next flush of blooms. Expect a low maintenance care workload once it is established.
Using Rozanne Cranesbill in the garden
Rozanne Cranesbill earns its place for feeding bees and pollinators, attracting butterflies, a feature or specimen planting and pots and courtyard containers. It is equally at home in the ground or a large pot on a balcony or courtyard.
Companion planting & design
For easier irrigation and care, group Rozanne Cranesbill with species that also favour regular, moderate watering and cool-temperate climate. Leave enough room for the mature spread so neighbouring plants are not crowded out.
