Geranium 'Blue Cloud'
A graceful hardy geranium that lives up to its name, creating a ethereal display of floating blooms above mounded foliage. This delightful cultivar reaches a modest height of 30-40 cm, with a spreading habit that makes it perfect for softening garden edges. The flowers appear as a misty cloud of pale lavender-blue blooms, each delicately veined, creating an enchanting effect from late spring through summer.
The foliage forms an attractive base throughout the growing season, with deeply divided, mid-green leaves that take on subtle autumn tints as the season progresses. This hardy perennial's spreading nature makes it excellent for ground cover, whilst remaining well-behaved and easy to manage.
Adaptable and robust, 'Blue Cloud' flourishes in both sun and partial shade, proving particularly effective when planted in drifts through borders or allowed to weave between other perennials. Its reliable nature and long flowering period make it a valuable addition to cottage gardens, mixed plantings and informal borders.
