Overview
Geranium 'Rozanne' is one of the most celebrated hardy geraniums, valued for its exceptionally long flowering season and easy-going nature. From early summer until early autumn, it produces a continuous display of large violet-blue flowers with distinctive purple veining and bright white centres above attractive, deeply lobed green foliage. Its gently spreading habit softens border edges, weaves beautifully through neighbouring perennials, and spills naturally over walls, raised beds, and containers. An RHS Award of Garden Merit winner, 'Rozanne' is a reliable favourite for long-lasting garden colour.
Why We Love It
Few perennials flower for as long as 'Rozanne'. Its relaxed, billowing habit blends effortlessly with roses, salvias, ornamental grasses, and other cottage garden favourites, filling gaps in borders with months of colour. It also performs wonderfully in patio containers, where its stems can gently trail over the sides.
