Combining grace and reliability, award-winning Geranium 'Brookside' is a very desirable border plant that provides long-lasting color in the garden. It forms dense mounds of deeply cut, lacy, dark green leaves, topped from late spring to fall with profuse and very attractive, violet-blue blossoms, 1.5 in. wide (4 cm), with fine reddish veins and white throats. Cut it back, and you will get a second round of blooms in late summer to fall, just when the handsome foliage turns stunning shades of red. Geranium 'Brookside' is a hybrid of Geranium clarkei and Geranium pratense.
