Good plant #82 - Geranium 'Blue Blood'


This is one of the best perennial geraniums you can get. It flowers profusely, almost all at once. Like a lot of geraniums if you cut it right back after the first flush of flowers, it may flower again towards the end of summer/ early autumn. Give it a feed of soluble general purpose fertilizer and this helps it along.

This plant will tolerate all but the boggiest of soils and prefers sun. However it will also perform in part shady sites.
