Spreading and floriferous, as Spring breaks, you will almost feel Geranium bohemicum 'Brookside' building up energy ready to produce a soft mound of lush, green weed-suppressing foliage. Shortly afterwards, a mass of bountiful buds smother the foliage, bursting open to reveal large, saucer-shaped, violet-blue blooms with white centres from June until August or September, every year. Certain to add summer charm to any border and container, 'Brookside' will attract the attention of passing pollinators, either whilst filling a gap between other perennials or planted alone. A tough, easy to grow, low maintenance and undemanding plant with a short bushy habit.Geranium bohemicum 'Brookside' reaches a height and spread of approximately 60cm, preferring to be grown in well-drained soil in sun or part shade. As a fully hardy perennial she will thrive outside for years to come with no winter protection required.
