Plant details
An unusual variety of hardy geranium, with violet-blue flowers that appear above the dark-purple leaves in early to mid-summer. A compact grower, its neat mounds of foliage provide an extended season of interest. Its dark colouring combines well with bright the silver of Astelias and acid green of Tanacetums. It's a highly adaptable plant and will happily grow on a wide variety of soils, in full sun or partial shade. If given a light pruning once a year after flowering, it will provide a low-maintenance, colourful point of interest year after year.
