Seemingly never-ending silvery-violet-blue flowers is but one of this 2' mounder's surprises, its ferny foliage opens orange in spring, changes to gold and then lime green!; great for containers/baskets/borders. S/M/GDr PPAP

Has cut leaves all summer. The leaves are soft golden color and the flowers are pretty lavender purple.

Geranium 'Blue Sunrise' has silver blue to lavender-blue flowers that bloom from spring until frost! As if that weren't enough the young foliage is orange and then yellow before turning to light green providing a great display before the flowers get started. Avoid hot afternoon sun which can burn the leaves.

Perennial that forms a low, sprawling mound of deeply cut leaves that start out amber in spring, changing to chartreuse and later green. Clusters of violet-blue cup-shaped flowers appear in early summer, continuing for months, especially in cool-summer regions. Excellent for massing or using near the border edge, also in containers. If flowering stops in midsummer, prune plants back to 4 inches to rejuvenate.

A fine selection with pleasantly gentle butter-yellow leaves and a long display harmonius blue flowers. This is one of those weaver geraniums with long questing flowering stems which weave into surrounding shrubs. We have ours planted at the base of a rose in our sunny border.
