Default Propagating hardy geraniums

In message , Anne Jackson

The message from Alla Bezroutchko contains these words:

I have planted some hardy geraniums - "Jolly Bee" and "Johnson's Blue"
and I love them and want more of them in my garden. From what I read,
the usual way of propagating is division. My plants are not big enough
for division - is it possible to propagate them by cuttings or by seeds?
If so, when and how?


Another question, can anyone recommend white, pink or purple hardy
geraniums? Now I've got blue ones, I want other colours too. Do they
really keep flowering all through the summer?


Thanks.


I don't know of _any_ geraniums that are hardy in the UK.


Not only are a dozen species of Geranium native to the UK, and about as
many again naturalised, many, perhaps the majority, of Geraniums are
hardy in the UK. It's Pelargoniums, known popularly as geraniums, that
in general aren't hardy.

Where are you?
