Description
Geranium 'Ann Folkard'
Height x Spread: 30cm x 75cm
'Ann Folkard' bears bright magenta flowers with distinctive black veins and centres over young lemon-green deeply cut foliage that matures to darker green. This floriferous Geranium scrambles and sprawls across the soil, creating a vivid blanket of ground cover from late summer into autumn.
Ideal for underplanting shrubs in a sunny border, its informality and striking colour combination makes it an excellent choice for the cottage garden. It prefers a fairly fertile soil with some drainage in a sunny or part shade position, but can cope with shade.
