    I love the geranium Rozanne goes on so long over summer and autumn. Are there any other sterile geranium that keep going? I have other types, over in a month or so, and forming seed heads.

    Welcome to the forum, @minky4womble . That certainly looks like an impressive fuchsia! I have no idea how old it can be, but some members of this forum may know. Whereabouts do you live?
    Thank you! We live in County Durham, UK

    Some pics of the week-end and today...
    General view of the garden to the North
    Cool green foliages under the pergola
    The East mixed border, to the North
    The West border, central part
    The East border, with the vigorous growth and many flowers of the confederate jasmine to the left

    Association of my "bi-coloured" Lavatera x clementii 'Barnsley' and bright red Salvia greggii 'Caramba' in the foreground.
    The Lavatera is gradually "reverting to type" and this season half the flowers are true 'Barnsley' and the other half more "common"!
    Beautiful!

    Yes, I too would love to find another geranium that is as reliable and long-lasting as Rozanne...

    I believe Azure Rush, bred from Rozanne, is a more compact version. I don’t have it though to speak from experience.

    As well as Azure Rush which I grow in a pot so doesn’t have any scope to practise a land grab, try Patricia, Ann Folkard and Anne Thompson. Another recommended for its flowering longevity, though I don’t have it in my garden, is Orion.
