Named in honour of the honey bees that pollenate plants at its home nursery, 'Jolly Bee' is a large, mounding Geranium which is smothered in flowers the whole summer, and beyond.
The distinctive 2" flowers are bright blue with a large white eye.
The plants and flowers are more robust than average, and will continue to bloom until first frosts.
Height:30/ 75cm Spread:40/1000cm Hardiness:US zones 4-8
I have "Jolly Bee" just two years in my garden here in County Mayo, Ireland. A fantastic plant and remarked by everyone who visits.
