Cranesbills (Geranium x 'Brookside') - Description

This true geranium consistently produces masses of blue-violet flowers, with white eyes, in the early summer and then again by fall. Nice delicate looking foliage is the backdrop for its showy flowers during its bloom times, and then steals the show for itself by turning a nice orange / red for the colder months. Plant this Geranium in a spot that will receive morning sun and afternoon shade for the most intense color and concentration of blooms.
