Other: deadheading prolongs bloom. Native to dry or moist woods; woodland edges; dappled meadows. Thrives under variety of conditions - rich, acidic. Seeds attract doves, bobwhite quail. Deer resistant.
If it’s happy, Wild Geranium will spread by seeds and also by sending out underground root-like growths called rhizomes. If you want to transplant it elsewhere to spread faster, you can dig up the rhizomes and move them (or if you don’t want it spreading, you can share them with other gardeners).
