  • Nutcutlet I may have the wrong plant as my one looks more like a Johnsons Blue than that Bill Wallis. Which ever they are a wonderful hardy plant. Moved some of mine which were suffering from too much shade this year. Looking forward to seeing some life in them soon.

    There are so many hybrids and cultivars it's hard to know what you've got sometimes, No expert.

  • My blue geraniums died right back. Will they return or are they dead?

    If they're perennial they'll come back Outdoor girl

    Verdun, geraniums are so numerous now I only buy what I like the look of when it's in flower. Johnson's Blue looks different every time I see it.

  • Johnson's Blue is gorgeous, but does have a short flowering period.  I have grown Rozanne, which is similar, for some years and it blooms and blooms and blooms - and the bees absolutely love it.  It was named Perennial Plant of the Year in 2008.

    This is an article comparing the two http://allanbecker-gardenguru.squarespace.com/journal/2009/4/16/rozanne-versus-johnson-blue-comparing-two-blue-geranium-pere.html
