From Blooms of Bressingham, ‘Rozanne’ has become popular for its resistance to heat, attractive foliage, and long flowering qualities. Clothed in slightly marbled, deep green foliage, ‘Rosanne’ forms neat mounds 2-feet across. From early summer until frost, it is decorated in 2½-inch wide saucer shaped, violet-blue, white centered flowers! ‘Rozanne’ prefers consistently moist well drained soil and makes an excellent small to mid sized ground cover, specimen, or accent plant. It is great cascading out of containers and is fine in combination with numerous perennials. 2008 Perennial Plant of the Year.

Care
Watering:
'Rozanne' Geranium is moderately drought tolerant but benefits from occasional watering, to maintain soil in a moist but not wet condition, during the summer months.
Fertilizing:
'Rozanne' Geranium is a moderate feeder, benefiting from a couple of annual applications of slow release fertilizer. A spring application of a 3-1-2 ratio (such as a 15-5-10) can be applied at a rate of about 10 pounds per 1000 square feet, and during early fall, an application of a 2-1-2 ratio (such as a 10-5-10) can be applied to encourage root development and cold hardiness.
Pruning:
'Rozanne' Geranium should be enjoyed all winter long, then, during early April before it begins to grow again, it should be pruned or mowed back to ground level.
