    Geranium 'Azure Rush'. Very much like the award winning G.Rozanne from which this plant is a sport, differing in having shorter internodes and therefore being smaller  in its mounding. This difference may take up to 3 years to be obvious as the two cultivar grow pretty much the same the first year with Geranium 'Rozanne' mounding larger and larger over the next 3 years. The flowers are still a gorgeous 6cm wide, White centred azure blue (a slight shade lighter than Geranium 'Rozanne', more like those of G. wallichianum 'Buxton's Variety'), fading lavender and produced in a continuous succession from May until the frosts. Geranium 'Azure Rush' starts into flower up to 3 weeks earlier than Geranium 'Rozanne'. Foliage colours well in Autumn. Discovered by Jeddeloh in Germany. 30cm tall, spreading wider.

    Great value throughout the year. Bertie Crug forms a low spreading mound of dark bronze-tinted shiny green leaves over which a long succession of pale pink flowers is produced. Good at the edges of beds or in a rock garden planting this is a reliable doer for full sun. Cooler Autumn winter brings a rich cherry red colour to the foliage. 15cm spreading.

    Geranium 'Dusky Rose' A newly bred variety which forms a low tight spreading mound of gorgeous chocolate-burgundy foliage. From May to September the plant will be studded with soft baby-pink flowers. 15cm high and 30cm spread. This is a sister plant to Geranium ‘Bertie Crug’ with slightly lighter baby-pink flowers and much better leaf colouring. A seedling from G. sessiliflorum 'Nigricans' probably a cross with G.oxonianum.

    Geranium ‘Mavis Simpson’ = (Geranium x riversleanum ‘Mavis Simpson’) (Geranium endressii x Geranium traversii) From a dense crown come innumerable trailing, branching stems that mound and scramble to form a close mat of silvery grey-green foliage. All summer until the frosts this mat produces clear, pale sugar pink flowers with fine purple lines. Lovely to edge a bed or scramble around the base of shrubs. Long flowering period from May to the frosts in September. Originally occurred at Kew Gardens by the Gardens Supervisor, Mr Cook. He named it after a member of the Alpine Staff. Originally placed under G.x riversleanum, but subsequently moved. Best in full sun.

    Geranium Orion (Geranium ‘Brookside' seedling, possibly a cross with G.ibericum). Geranium 'Orion' is very similar to its parent, Geranium ‘Brookside’, but with larger (6.5cm) flowers of violet-blue, rather rhan the truer blue of  Geranium 'Brookside'. Strong growth combines with beautiful finely divided foliage and amply  produced large violet-blue flowers; each paler in the centre with violet veining. Forms a tight crown from which arise stiff branching stems with a long stalked flower produced from each axil. 60cm tall and a little wider. This arose as a seedling from Geranium 'Brookside'. Great either as a free standing mound or scrambling through low shrubs.

    (Geranium albiflorum x Geranium sylvaticum) I was drawn to this delicate geranium as it was so different from its cousins. It has small lustrous mauve flowers, 1cm wide with petals quite widely spaced. It has a lovely little curly puce pink style and flushes of magenta bee-lines. It really comes into its own when established and flowering en masse when the effect is quite charming. 45-90cm. An Alan Bremner cross.

    Geranium 'Rozanne' (Geranium 'Jolly Bee') ='Gerwat'. (Geranium himalayense x Geranium wallichianum ‘Buxton’s Variety’). A new introduction with very large, well rounded flowers, each a rich blue with a white central eye and dark red veining. Sends out sprawling, branching stems from a tight crown which mound up to at least  1m across and 45cm high, Flowers start in June and can go on right until November, at their height covering the whole mound. If needed flowering can be refreshed by chopping the stems half back mid season. Good strong constitution and a long flowering season. Good Autumn colour. Most resembles a more robust version of its parent Geranium ‘Buxton’s Variety’ Despite all its accolades, Geranium 'Rozanne' started life modestly as a chance find. Rozanne Waterer and her husband, Donald, spotted an unusual looking seedling in 1998 at the bottom of their garden in Kilve in Somerset. After it flowered the next year from June to November with large blue flowers they took it to Adrian Bloom who identified it as a new hybrid. It was named after Mrs Waterer and has since been named Plant of the Centenary at the Chelsea Flower Show 2013. It made it's debut at Chelsea in 2000.

    Geranium ‘Sirak’ (Geranium gracile x Geranium ibericum). An outstanding new hybrid that produces masses of large flat bright pink flowers continuously for several months through the summer. Each flower is a shiny texture, coloured towards the bluer end of deep sugar pink with darker pink veining.  The leaves are a pale green, resembling most the Geranium ibericum parent as does the plants general habit. A plant that will earn its keep in any planting scheme. 90cm. Bred originally by Hans Simon in Marktheidenfeld in 1992, an identical hybrid was also raised by Alan Bremner on Orkney.

    (syn. Geranium 'Verguld Saffier') This variety is a cross between 'Ann Folkard' and wallichianum 'Buxton's variety', inheriting characteristics of both. It has the yellow leaves of the former, longer lasting than the parent, with flowers in a pinky-blue produced all throughout the summer. Its AGM says it is undoubtedly a good cultivar, but anyone who knows me, knows my thoughts on plants that pair yellow leaves and pink flowers so I'll shut up now. It has a low growing, sprawling habit, making it ideal for the front of the border. It is a little smaller than 'Ann Folkard'. It is reliable, but likes some shade to do its best. Originally found as a seedling in Hans Kramer's de Hessenhof nursery in about. 1994 40 X 110cm

A lovely accompaniment to Roses. Sun. 30cm. Selected from one of A.T. Johnson’s seedlings by B.Ruys in 1950 in Holland and named in his honour.[separator top="3" bottom="3" style="single"][fontawesome icon="thumbs-up-alt" circle="no" size="medium" iconcolor="#81d742" circlecolor="" circlebordercolor="" animation_type="0" animation_direction="down" animation_speed="0.1"]Discount of 25p per plant for quantities of 3 or over
