Geranium 'Johnson's Blue'

This old-fashioned hardy geranium is a garden classic. Geranium 'Johnson's Blue' forms large, branching mounds of finely textured leaves and produces cool blue-violet flowers from early to midsummer. It is popular because it is pretty, vigorous and blooms for a long time. The medium green leaves of this hardy perennial turn shades of yellow and red in the fall. From early to midsummer, 'Johnson's Blue' becomes covered with five-petaled, violet-blue flowers. After flowering, cut the old stems back to encourage a flush of fresh new growth and to tidy up the plant.
