Hardy geranium variety ID request.

justandnobodyelse · May 2020

Any hardy geranium experts out there that could help me to ID this one?
i have been given a small division and wanted to know a suitable aspect and spread in order to plant it. Thanks in advance for any info!

I would say it was more purple than blue.

Lots of "blue" geraniums are more purple

I would hazard a guess at geranium ibericum

Thanks for the info @andrewnewton that looks like it.

we inherited several different pale pink and white Varieties with this garden, that I am a bit unsure of. I do like the dark ones though, hopefully it will like it’s new spot!

I've found this nursery web page https://www.plantpref.co.uk/visit-us.html to be a useful ID guide. It's also very tempting if you are a geranium lover. I went a few years back and they were very friendly and helpful

I have Geranium Blue Blood in my garden. It’s one of the darkest blue of all geranium with a slight red tinge. It looks very similar to yours so could be that one

Thanks for the link @a@andrewnewton I'm sure I could find a space for a couple more geraniums!

I think it is this one @Stevedaylilly I was going to ask you about its behaviour but found your previous thread saved me the trouble! Many thanks.
