Cranesbill
Geranium Johnson's Blue
Large, attractively-veined, saucer-shaped, rich sky-blue flowers with a subtle flush of pink in the centre are produced in loose clusters above elegant, deeply-divided, mid-green leaves from May to August. It has a slightly sprawling, informal appearance and forms a vigorous, robust clump of foliage that looks stunning when weaved in and out of the front of a mixed border. Perfect for growing as a small specimen plant in a container or incorporating into an informal planting, it looks stunning when allowed to form a carpet over the ground and grows successfully under coniferous trees once established. A cottage garden favourite that’s useful for attracting bees and butterflies to the garden

Garden Care:
Incorporate lots of well-rotted organic matter into the backfill when planting. Apply generous well rotted organic mulch in early spring and keep well-watered during periods of dry weather.Please Note: Many perennials go ‘dormant’ which, in some cases, means that there is little or no top growth apparent between November and March. If you order perennials whilst they are dormant, they may not be visible above the soil level when purchased but will burst into life in spring. In the dormant period, we may not have stocks of all varieties in all pot sizes and therefore reserve the right to supply 9cm pots instead of 1 or 2 litre plants and adjust the price down accordingly
