Help with Geranium identification

Hello - first post, just wanted some help identifying this geranium. It has some sentimental value -  small plant taken from my mums garden and has since died off and would love to be able to buy another. I was first thinking Johnson's blue - but the leaves don't seem quite the same.

Many thanks

    I'd say 'Marsh Cranesbill' aka 'little-robin.
    Mix 2tbsp of white,granulated sugar with 1tbsp of water and place on a spoon for a Bee to reach. Sometimes they're too exhausted to reach back to the hives when it's hot and dry.

    @Borderline is probably right.

    I agree, i’ve got a lot of this, it’s great groundcover and the bees love it.
