Best and mt favourite hardy geranium and why......
I grow jolly Bee for it's glorious blue flowers that go on and on and on. I grow Elke for its sheer beauty and distinctive flower. Margaret Wilson for her lovely grey foliage and a variety called....I think....black beauty which has purple red foliage and striking blue flowers. Other varieties to recommend?

I have the basic so far (cuttings and clumps from parents) as testers to see how they grew on clay soil here. Still love the magenta cranesbill , I have it with/beside my snow mound spirea and they mingle together accidentally ...lovely .
I had black beauty which was just growing other day ...since died, I was going to move it as wasn't happy ..now gone
Jackman blue ?
White pheum I have with mourning widow against dark brown fence mingled together ...
Others and more ..love them all...saw one on carol klein
Geranium pretence blue
Geranium nodosum pink evergreen
Geranium sanguinium pink white centre
Do you have those ?
Verdun, do you label your plants or do you just have a retentive memory? I always resolve to label mine and then don't and forget their names. I did keep all the plant labels until OH 'tidied up' and threw them all away.
My magenta has long since lost its tag, having moved from my first house , to OH, to mums , to here
I like things to work together rather than just a plant alone
Often handy to blame OH.
That's my dream -to create something in the garden that looks like a beautiful Impressionist painting.
My favourite is Geranium 'Nimbus' - not only because of the fabulous blue/mauve flowers but because it has the same name as Harry Potter's broomstick! - easy to remember!
