Who doesn't love blue Geraniums! We all used to have Geranium "Johnsons blue", which is very pretty, but it doesn't tend to last long, nor repeat flower. This one called Rozanne, with a white centre, and spreads to around 60cm wide and high, so plant to allow space to grow into. It is well behaved, stays nice and neat, and flowers for a very long time. The only drawback is that in spring the foliage can look similar to creeping buttercup...... so be careful not to weed it out!
It was shortlisted for the Chelsea Plant of the Centenary for the decade 1993-2002, and won the public vote.
As a garden designer it is my blue geranium of choice, since I know it is a great performer. Like all Geraniums, a chop back in mid July will extend its flowering season right through till October.
