Its lavender-tinted blue flowers have pale mauve centers and bloom continuously atop elegant, deeply divided leaves that densely cover the somewhat creeping stems.

Enjoy the graceful form of ‘Johnson’s Blue’ in the border. This Geranium has 7-lobed mid-green leaves. During summer, many blue-lavender flowers are produced. A superb plant for a cottage garden or informal border where it is close to its neighbors and is particularly good teamed with old-fashioned roses. Suitable for cut flowers.

Planting/Care Instructions +

Planting Instructions: Dig a hole large enough to encompass the roots without bending or circling. Set the plant in place so the crown (part of the plant where the root meets the stem) is about 1-2 inches below the soil surface. Cover with soil to the original soil surface and water thoroughly. Easily grown in average, medium wet, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Tolerates some drought, but prefers and spreads best in moist, humusy soils with good drainage. Deadheading is tedious for larger plantings and probably unnecessary. Spent stems may be removed at any time to control spread. If not deadheaded, some self-seeding may occur in ideal growing conditions. Foliage may decline after flowering in hot summer climates, at which point it may be lightly sheared back and shaped to revitalize.

Pests or Diseases: No serious insect or disease problems.
