I love all of these, and have some of these in my garden. Imagine a huge border with lots of these lovely plants in.
It’d be stunning.

If you could choose just one hardy Geranium, which would it be? Geranium wallichianum ‘Havana Blues’ has to be a strong contender. First of all, it has those gorgeous five-petal flowers, blue-mauve at the edges and white at the centre, streaked with fine, deep purple lines. And it blooms for months on end. Second, it grows happily in difficult places in sun or shade. And third, it’s so easy to grow that it needs hardly any attention at all so this Cranesbill is just right for busy gardeners or beginners. Height: 30cm (12"). Spread: 40cm (16").

Geranium ‘Brookside’ (Large Plant) – 2 x 1 litre potted geranium plants £14.99
With its intensely violet-blue flowers veined with a hint of dark red, and finely cut leaves, Geranium ‘Brookside’ is one of the favourites of all the hardy Geraniums. It certainly makes an impact with its bold colour: it is stunning as a single plant in a cottage garden, and even more eye-catching when several plants are grouped together. It is easy to grow in sun or part shade and reliably produces a mass of flowers throughout summer. What’s more, the spreading habit of this Cranesbill means it is even good at keeping the weeds down. It has won the RHS Award of Garden Merit. Height: 60cm(24"). Spread: 45cm (18").
Geranium himalayense (Large Plant) – 2 x 1 litre potted geranium plants £14.99
Choose this hardy Geranium if you are looking for ground cover for a shady spot in the garden. Geranium himalayense has attractive purple-blue flowers in early summer, and often continues to produce more flowers right through to autumn. Its interestingly shaped leaves turn bright red in autumn. Like others in the Cranesbill family it is at home in a cottage garden or the herbaceous border and is great for providing ground cover and suppressing weeds, but unlike most others, Geranium himalayense is especially useful as it thrives even in shade. Height: 45cm (18"). Spread: 60cm (24").
Geranium pratense ‘Summer Skies’ – 1 bare root geranium plant £12.99
Plant swathes of this gorgeous mauve-pink geranium in your cottage garden borders and enjoy dreamy summer skies all summer long. The double blooms of Geranium pratense ‘Summer Skies’ may look delicate but this hardy herbaceous perennial is tough and undemanding. Unlike its single flowered relations, this meadow cranesbill does not self seed, so the flowers last even longer. Height: 90cm (36"’). Spread: 60cm (24"’)
Geranium himalayense ‘Birch Double’ – 1 bare root geranium plant £12.99
Vigorous and versatile, this superb cranesbill tolerates almost any situation; even full shade. A mass of double purple-pink blooms stand above the delicately serrated foliage which turns to shades of burnt red and orange in autumn. Geranium himalayense ‘Birch Double’ will quickly blend with other herbaceous perennials to create colourful groundcover and looks equally attractive in herbaceous borders and shady woodland gardens. Height: 25cm (10"’). Spread: 60cm (24"’).
