Geranium
'Havanna Blues'
cranesbill
Geranium 'Havanna Blues' is a relaxed, low-spreading cranesbill with the sort of easy charm that makes borders look as though they arranged themselves beautifully. Growing to around 40cm high, it sends out trailing stems clothed in neat green leaves, creating a soft, informal mound through the season. The flowers are the real conversation piece: light violet-blue, each with a lighter central zone and striking dark purple veins. Geranium 'Havanna Blues' has that lovely painterly detail which rewards a closer look, without ever demanding one too loudly.
Use Geranium 'Havanna Blues' at the front of borders, spilling gently between roses, weaving through perennials or softening the edge of a path. Its long flowering shoots give it a slightly nonchalant habit, which is very much part of its appeal, especially in naturalistic and cottage-style planting. Pair Geranium 'Havanna Blues' with silvery foliage, soft pinks, lavender blues or fresh lime greens for an airy summer scheme. Once established, this hardy herbaceous perennial is pleasingly undemanding, bringing colour, movement and useful ground cover with minimal fuss. For a cranesbill with delicacy, vigour and beautifully veined flowers, Geranium 'Havanna Blues' is a quietly stylish choice.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Check each plant’s specifications. Hardy perennials can remain outdoors, while half-hardy and tender varieties should be kept frost-free until the risk of frost has passed.
Plant within a month, preferably sooner. Choose a suitable position, remove weeds and loosen the soil thoroughly, adding compost or well-rotted organic matter where needed.
Gently remove the plant from its pot and plant with the root ball level with the soil surface. Firm gently, water well and add a plant label.
Water regularly until established and whenever the soil feels dry during spring and summer. Feed container-grown plants fortnightly during active growth to encourage healthy flowering.
