Geranium
Cranesbill
We’re talking about hardy Geraniums, not the better-known, anything-but-subtle Pelargoniums. True Geraniums are sturdy yet refined, with 5-petaled flowers borne on dainty stems close to the palmately divided leaves. Their spectrum of colors, from cool to electric, is rivaled only by their ability to create soft mounds and flowing carpets of lush foliage in ordinary garden soil. We plant a succession of varieties to always have some in bloom from spring to fall. Our selections are easily grown: many will rebloom after flowering if lightly trimmed and most die back in winter.
Raised by the amateur gardener Rev. O. G. Folkard, this Geranium is an offspring of Geranium procurrens and Geranium psilostemon. Its deeply cut, bright yellowish green leaves trail and twine gracefully amidst stunning saucer-shaped, black-eyed dusky-magenta flowers. Such color and form make ‘Ann Folkard’ an uplifting neighbor for dark green foliage plants like Veronicastrum ‘Adoration’ and Phlox ‘David’s Lavender’.
