Cranesbill Geranium spacing and mature footprint
Space Cranesbill Geranium 2 ft apart, measured center to center (60 cm).
The mature spread is about 2.5 ft (75 cm), so plants set at that distance grow together into a solid mass.
Treat 2 ft as a planning baseline — cultivar and local growing conditions shift the final footprint.
