Have you folks seen the listing of Garanium offered by Terra Nova? WOW!!
I only need ONE of each...
For example:
G. 'Anne Thomson', gold tinted foliage forms a low speading mound and
gives rise to myriads of 1" wide dark magenta flowers. Same breeding as
G. 'Ann Folkard'
G. 'Brookside' large blue-violet flowers are porduced over a very long
period on this new cultivar. ... Some say that this is the new
replacement for G. 'Johnson's Blue'
G. pratense 'Midnight Reiter' In the Northwest, more jaws have dropped
over seeing this plant than many others. We are talking about a DEEP
purple leaved, semi-dwarf gem of a plant with large dark lilac flowers.
Holds it's color. A tissue culture breakthrough! Limited
G. pratense'Plenum Violaceum' Of the hundreds of Geranium varieties we
have seen in the last 25 years, thre is not one that impressed us as
much as this one. Clouds of fluffy double purple flowers adorn this
large Geranium for an extended period of time. A true '10'...
--> not new, but ... G.'Stanhoe' "Geraniast" Robin Parer gives this
Geranium high marks for its silvered foliage, nice low spreading form
and light pink flowers. Prefers full sun, good drainage. .... popular in
Northern California, ...groundcover in NW. zone 6-7
G. 'Terra Franche' Voluptuous, large blue flowers, veined in purple
arise from the striking felted leaves of this beauty. First introduction
to the US for this Geranium renardii hybrid. Well drained soil. Limited.
