About the Geranium -
Johnsons Blue :
The Geranium ‘Johnson's Blue’, Geranium x
'Johnson's Blue', has rich sky-blue flowers that
fade to pear gray as they mature, blooming from June
till August. Thy Royal Horticultural Society gave a
prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM) to
‘Johnson’s Blue’, and one can see why. With its
beautiful dark green foliage, it has a plant width
of 23-27” and a height of 18”. ‘Johnson's Blue’
needs to be cut back in early summer for repeat
bloom time in the fall.
‘Johnson's Blue’ Geranium, being drought
tolerant, needs a full sun area with some shade in
the afternoon. For best results, plant in a dry to
moist area in a well-drained site. The Geranium
family is well known for its stunning fall colors
that include reds, oranges, and yellows. It is a
superb plant for cottage gardens, container growing,
borders or informal borders in mass plantings. There
is an attraction to bees and butterflies and it is
very disease and deer resistant. A great plant for a
beginner gardener.
