There are two "Johnson's Blue" out there on the wholesale market. One is a
stiffly up-right plants resembling a shrub of about 3 feet in height. The other is
a scrambler of about 14 to18 inches. different foliage and shades of blue.

Had someone give me 3 of those to play with last summer. Have not planted them
in the garden as yet. Blue of the blooms on the plants I have are not as intense
as the photos (surprise!) Lot of hoopla on this one, so it will be interesting to
try it in the garden this coming spring and summer.

Now here is a geranium I absolutely am crazy about. Blooms are nice, and it
does rebloom, foliage is not bad at all, but then comes fall.... the foliage is
absolutely stunning in fall. Each and every leaf is a different color. Wine red,
burgundy, bright yellow, while others remain apple-green.
