Bronze-tinged foliage is one lovely feature, add a profusion of eye-popping blue ultra-violet blooms and the contrast is electric.

Hardy geraniums like Geranium himalayense ‘Kaya’ are very low maintenance, which is partly why they’re so popular. This variety tolerates dry conditions, poor soils and thrives in sun or partial shade. Forming a clump which spreads gradually, eventually it forms a dense ground cover of foliage which is not only an attractive colour, but helps supress weeds. One more of the many great features of Geranium himalayense ‘Kaya’ (syn. ‘Neelkaya’) is that the flowers are full of nectar, which is a lifeline for bees and other pollinators.
