Purchased for the memory garden and planted out in 2018, these hardy geraniums, which I can’t tell apart, are a favorite. They both generously produce lavender-blue flowers with a white eye in May/June/July and probably will do so again in the fall if I cut them back at just the right time.

This year, I was worried that the plants weren’t going to do much. The cool, wet spring seemed to stall out their growth, but they are growing wonderfully now and blooming well.

My 2020 plans for these plants is to trim them down in late July to see if they will grow back and bloom again. I’ll feed them at that time, too. And work to get some better photos of them.
