Johnson Blue can't be sterile since I bought seeds and started plants 4 years ago. They set seeds like any other geranium does.
I also have Splish Splash, which I bought as a plant. Vision and Striatum are 2 others I have.

They do best if given morning sun and shaded from hot afternoon sun here in Wyoming. Require regular moisture and some humus in the hole before planting. I trim mine back for repeat blooms later.

Anytime I buy bareroot plants I always pot them up first before planting outdoors. That way they have a good rootball when planted. Once actively growing, I plant them in my garden.

They are easily divided since they form small rhizomous roots.
