Hardy Geranium Ann Folkard An excellent, long-established hybrid hardy geranium or cranesbill, Geranium Ann Folkard x psilostemon is a small, clump-forming, herbaceous perennial which blooms for a long period. The divided, palmate leaves emerge yellow-green, making a splash of light in the spring garden, gradually turning deep to mid-green, a lovely foil to the flowers. These are single and a bright magenta-pink with a dark, almost black, eye, inherited from its Geranium psilostemon parent. Long stems ramble harmlessly through other perennials, making this a great filler plant; cut back to encourage more flowers. Hardy geranium Ann Folkard is very easy to grow, and holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
