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.
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.
Lidle are selling geranium himalayense blue bare root for a pound. I got two today, if anyone is interested, in picture they look very much like Johnson's Blue.

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.
