GERANIUM ‘Azure Rush’

This Geranium is a mutation from Geranium Rozanne found by Jan Schuiver at Jeddeloh Nurseries in Germany because Geranium Rozanne has EU PBR. Azure Rush is considered an EDV of Rozanne.

Geranium ‘Azure Rush’ has a lighter flower colour compared to Rozanne and is more of a compact plant, it retains though, the same flowering period as Rozanne.

Azure Rush is good in borders and patio pots so are just as versatile as Rozanne.


I trialled the plant in the trial garden and my own patio area prior to it being introduced.


So now is the time to be busy looking at your flowering plants and those that are flowering from your selections and breeding work and making further crosses and selections.

As you can see from the picture above that new cultivars can also be found in the garden and growing areas. You need to check though if you find one if it is from a protected plant the rights to the new cultivar may belong to the breeder of the original plant.

Trialling plants can be a long process but its all part of the new plant development and plant breeding process.


It is good to look at plants in your own garden, looking for improvements that may be possible.


You see with the Geranium, by getting a compact flowering plant it makes the plant more fitting for today’s market and for growers more plants can be transported on a lorry in flower as its shorter so it’s a good grower’s plant. Sometimes as with Geranium ‘Azure Rush’ it’s a lucky find!
