Johnsons Blue Geranium shows it's true colors

This plant is one of my favorites. I had this in New Brunswick when I lived there over 4 years ago and vowed that it would be in any new garden I planted. It starts off as a mound of green (very uniform) and then starts producing beautiful blue/purple flowers that seem to dance in the wind. Here is the progression so far of the Johnsons blue Geranium since I bought it last year.

Here is the plant last spring (2007) when I bought it. It was showing off it's blooms and I was so happy that I had gotten one that resembled the one I had planted in N.B. (they can get more purple sometimes then blue) and I didn't want that.


Here it is this year the end of May. As you can see, it mounds very nicely where ever you put it. It will eventually get a bit leggy in mid summer, but that's what I like once it's blooming.


A side view


The first bloom of Spring 2008. I ended up sitting on my bench in the morning and seeing this lil guy peeking out.


Today...lots of blooms showing and many more buds ready to open to the sun.
