Karen,
Our own Paul Henjum of Specialty Perennials in Minnesota (where it
gets COLD)
http://members.aol.com/Meum71/specialty.html
lists the following on this page:
https://phaea.safe-order.net/hardyplants/shopper/cat2.htm
Geranium macrorrhizum 'Ingwersens Variety'
Geranium maculatum
Geranium 'Nimbus'
Geranium 'Patricia'
Geranium phaeum
Geranium X renardii 'Philippe Vapelle' (I got this one last year and
like it quite a bit)
Geranium sanguineum 'New Hampshire Purple'
And our own Gene Bush of Munchkin Nursery in Indiana (not too far
from you, I think)
http://www.munchkinnursery.com
lists the following on this page:
http://www.munchkinnursery.com/catalog/browse?VzbDKCgr;g;9
Geranium maculatum
Geranium maculatum var. albiflorum `Helen Gallagher'
Geranium maculatum `Chatto'
Geranium sylvaticum
Ellen Hornig of Seneca Hill Perennials in upper NY state has only one
on this page, but it sounds nice:
http://www.senecahill.com/perennials 4.html
Geranium sanguineum ex dwarf form
Primrose Path in PA, near Pittsburgh has the following list on this
page:
http://www.theprimrosepath.com/listings/others/geranium.html
G. endressii 'Wargrave Pink'
G. macrorrhizum
G. maculatum
G. oxonianum 'A. T. Johnson'
G. phaeum
These are all good nurseries and either in nearly the same or colder
zones than you.
