Geranium 'Johnson's Blue'

Geranium 'Johnson's Blue' is one of the best-known and most beloved hardy geraniums. This strong perennial combines abundant flowering with an elegant, upright growth habit, making it an excellent choice for borders, cottage gardens, and natural plantings. Reaching a height of approximately 45 cm, this cranesbill provides a beautiful splash of color in the garden and is easy to combine with other perennials.

The striking bright blue flowers make Geranium 'Johnson's Blue' a real eye-catcher. New flowers appear continuously from mid-summer into autumn, ensuring the plant adds color to the border for an extended period. The vibrant blue flowers contrast beautifully with the fresh green, deeply incised foliage, creating a fresh and natural appearance. Additionally, the flowers are rich in nectar, attracting many bees, bumblebees, and butterflies. This makes this Geranium an excellent choice for an insect-friendly and biodiversity-rich garden.

A major advantage of Geranium 'Johnson's Blue' is its beautiful upright growth habit. The plant forms a sturdy, well-branched clump that stands tall and adds structure to the border. This makes it highly suitable for group planting, but also as a solitary perennial among other flowering species. It combines beautifully with Salvia, Nepeta, Echinacea, Alchemilla, ornamental grasses, and roses.

This hardy geranium grows best in a sunny to semi-shady location in well-drained, humus-rich soil. The plant is low-maintenance and requires little care. Lightly pruning it back after the first bloom often stimulates a second flowering and keeps the foliage fresh and healthy. Once well-rooted, it reliably returns every spring.

Are you looking for a strong, profusely flowering perennial with stunning blue flowers? Then Geranium 'Johnson's Blue' is an excellent choice. Thanks to its long flowering period, upright growth, and easy care, this cranesbill is a valuable addition to any garden.
