Geranium 'Jolly Bee' – Prolific Blue Bloomer for Sun and Shade

Geranium 'Jolly Bee'

Geranium 'Jolly Bee' (often sold as 'Jolly Bee' PP#12,148) is a vigorous hybrid cranesbill noted for its exceptional flower power. From late spring well into autumn, it produces masses of large, saucer-shaped, clear blue flowers with a hint of violet. The deeply cut, mid-green foliage forms a substantial mound that suppresses weeds and provides texture even when not in bloom. Adaptable to both full sun and partial shade, it’s a versatile workhorse for mixed borders.

Culture & Care

• Exposure: Full sun to partial shade.
• Soil: Average, well-drained soil; amend with compost for best performance.
• Maintenance: Low – shear back in midsummer if foliage looks tired.
• Hardiness: USDA zones 4-8.

A sterile hybrid, it won’t self-seed aggressively. Divide every few years in early spring to rejuvenate clumps.
