Rozanne Geranium
Geranium ‘Gerwat’ · a violet-blue reblooming hardy geranium
One of the longest-blooming perennials, with violet-blue, white-eyed flowers from late spring into fall on a wide, spreading mound that fills borders, pots and baskets. It needs no deadheading, copes with dry spells once settled, and deer and rabbits leave it alone. It flowers best in sun; in too much shade it sprawls.
