GERANIUM him. ‘Baby Blue’

Geranium himalayense Baby Blue is a compact, clump-forming hardy cranesbill carrying clear blue, veined, saucer-shaped blooms above mounds of deeply divided, mid-green foliage. Flowering in early to mid-summer, it thrives in sun or light shade on moderately fertile, well-drained soil, making an easy, reliable choice for the front of mixed borders, underplanting shrubs, and naturalistic cottage-style schemes. Deadhead to extend the display and shear lightly after the first flush to keep plants tidy. A good source of nectar for pollinators.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
