Rozanne always droops for me after a move - even if I haven't split it up. I would expect her to perk up in a day or two. I wouldn't overwater her, one good drink at transplanting time and wait. Expect her to need some supplemental watering for awhile after transplanting, but be cautious, don't water much unless it gets hot which is not the case here at this time. I also never fertilize when moving things, although I may improve the soil some, or in the case of some things that don't like heavy rich soil, thin it down some with gravel or Profile. As for the campanulas I can't help you much. They generally hate my wettish yard. Are your campanulas large nursery plants? These are usually much bigger than home grown in the garden plants at this time of the year. Did you acclimate them to the outdoors for a week or so before planting them out? We're still pretty cold here at night, and although the perennials are cold hardy, if they have been sitting inside or partially inside in a protected area of the nursery, they can take a hit when abruptly moved outside into the cold. Bigger plants & plants in bloom often look awful after transplanting. They may take some time to adjust. Just thoughts, don't know if they fit or not. Again, I would wait & see for awhile. Don't panic. It's still very early in the season. Best wishes.

Well, I'll chime in on this too, being a geraniophile and being somewhere in the middle of this. I agree with Mike that the cinereum forms don't seem to do especially well in our midwestern heat and humidty, and can get ratty looking after bloom. I gardened before on clay though most of the plants were in raised beds with loamy soil. I found that Ballerina did not last more than about 3-4 years. I had better luck with the form 'Giuseppi', which is a very bright, in-yer-face magenta with a black eye. To me, it was a better form anyway, much brighter in color. The one I planted quite a few years before was still there when I left the garden. There is also a newer form I saw while I was at Robin Parer's Geraniaceae Nursery in Marin Co. CA, and it was a beauty, with very rich pink flowers -- really lovely. Called 'Carol', and you can order it from her too (link below). I bought 2 but don't yet know how they will "do". I planted all my cinereums in a sand bed made mainly of sharp sand but with some compost added. They all do better there than in regular garden soil, though they will grow in regular soil too. And what gardengal says above about cutting back geraniums all the way to the crown is good advice no matter where in the country you live. Great thing to do if you decide to transplant a large mature geranium in the middle of July too (WHO does that??? me...and it works just fine too, with cutting back and watering.....). Great to see that this forum is getting more active again! Here is a link that might be useful: Geraniaceae

Your grandmother has the right idea for her locality..cold, northern Iowa. Us northern folks get the wrong idea about southern locales; New Mexico suggests warm weather when approaching January....in California January is the month they plant so naturally..... You can keep your geranium going with the amount of sun you have as long as possible...but as soon as it wilts, cut it back to about 4", remove any old leaves and bloom, any weak or damaged stems or branches; re-plant in a fresh pot with fresh potting soil or potting mix. Put something in the pot between the soil and the drainage holes. Put it in the best sunny window you can...south or west is best and water to drainage. No more water until the new leaves form, then water only as the plant needs it. Do not fertilize until well along in foliage. Normally, up north we bring our geraniums out by the Ides of March..(15th) and do the same thing. We suspect New Mexico will have better sun pretty soon. Its all up to the sun....its still low but getting better every day. Turn the plant every day or so to ensure all parts get equal sun. When you water, always water to drainage, then dump the excess in the saucer. Let it dry down somewhat between waterings. Within 2 weeks you will have a fresh measure of leaves and more each day. It will bloom later when the sun is better.

have been removing the spent flowers .. deadheading??? how about a pic ... cant go much further on words alone .... if you removed all the bugs.. what more is there to do.. other than watch ... and it sounds like you got that all covered... mom's Gs didnt thrive this year... too much rain.. heatwave.. drought... just not a great year ... in her MI ... where are you??? ken
