This hybrid hardy geranium is a mounding, clump-forming perennial which typically grows 20" tall and spreads to 24" wide. Features large, 5-petaled, violet-blue flowers (2.5" diameter) with white centers. Flowers typically bloom from late spring to early summer in hot summer climates such as St. Louis, but may bloom throughout the summer into fall in cooler northern climates. Sparse summer and/or fall rebloom may occur in St. Louis if plants are cut back hard after flowering. Slightly marbled deep green foliage. Kemper Center for Home Gardening

Geranium 'Rozanne' is a new hybrid that came onto the market this year. A hybrid of G. wallichianum, this form will flower for four to six months, depending on its siting. Since it is new, we aren't sure yet how large the plant will get. It has been sited where it gets two thirds of a day of sun and seems to be thriving. As with most geraniums, it is best to not plant them in too dry of an environment. Dunn Gardens
