Plant of the month June

Watching Monty and co (Gardeners World, BBC TV) has prompted the impossible task of picking a plant of the month. If I add the additional constraint that it must appear and do well in the Pennine garden then it at least narrows the field a little. However, for me I must pick the cranesbill (geranium) which is ever so reliable and comes out in a marvellous shade of deep blue. It has a home at the top of the patio living wall and in the herbaceous border. It is another of those plants that the bees seem attracted to, with easy to access nectar.
