Re: in bloom now?/floppy Crater Lake Blue veronica/Johnson Blue geranium

Hello Louise,
    I can not answer for every species and cultivar of hardy geranium, but when
the flop happens (often after an hard rain and wind storm) I give mine a shearing.
Just clip them back by about one half. They fill back out shortly.
