'Delft Blue' hardy geranium (Geranium pratense 'Delft Blue') is a perennial. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun. Its white flowers have stripes and flecks of blue and lavender blue, and each bloom looks different. It sits low on the menu for deer.
