Brookside Cranesbill Geranium

Brookside Cranesbill Geranium (Geranium Brookside) is an award-winning hardy perennial, widely considered one of the finest blue-flowering geraniums for the modern landscape. It produces a prolific display of large, bowl-shaped, violet-blue flowers with striking white centers and delicate reddish-purple veining. This vigorous grower forms a lush, billowy mound of deeply divided, lacy green foliage that provides excellent texture even when the plant is not in bloom.

A true "all-star" of the garden, 'Brookside' is prized for its long blooming season and its ability to transition beautifully through the seasons; in autumn, its foliage takes on brilliant hues of orange and fiery red. Its relaxed, spreading habit makes it a professional-grade choice for use as a high-end groundcover, a soft filler for perennial borders, or a cascading "spiller" in large patio containers. Naturally resistant to deer and gophers, it is a reliable and low-maintenance solution for a variety of garden styles. You will receive a healthy 4" plant, ready to establish a tapestry of cool blue color.

Why you’ll love it:

• Vibrant Violet-Blue Blooms: Features large, high-contrast flowers that appear in abundance from late spring through summer.
• Exceptional Foliage: Lacy, deeply lobed leaves provide fine texture and stunning red-orange color in the fall.
• Versatile & Hardy: Thrives in a wide range of conditions, from full sun to partial shade, and is remarkably cold-hardy.
• Pollinator Friendly: A top-tier attractant for bees and butterflies, supporting local garden biodiversity.
• Low Maintenance: Generally pest and disease-free; simply cut back after the first flush of flowers to encourage fresh growth and reblooming.

This 4" healthy live plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. While it is adaptable to various soil types, it performs best with regular watering during the heat of summer to maintain its lush appearance. Its mounding habit is perfect for underplanting shrubs or filling gaps in the middle of a border. Brookside Cranesbill Geranium is the ultimate choice for the gardener seeking professional-grade reliability and classic blue beauty in a convenient 4" size.
