The perennial Meadow Cranesbill is a cold germinator. The seeds are, therefore, rather sown outdoors in autumn or cold stratification has to take place with the help of the fridge. Therefore, the seeds are mixed with a little bit of moistened sand (e.g. in a freezer bag) and, at first, kept warm (approx. 15-20°C) for 2-4 weeks, then at 0-4°C for 4-6 weeks. Then, the seeds can be sown as usual. Loves sunny locations.
