description for "Geraniums: Geranium 'Ann Folkard'"
'Ann Folkard' cranesbill is a great choice for a border or to spill out of a container. Magenta blooms with dark centers on chartreuse foliage. Rabbit resistant. Very vigorous grower. Completely hardy, these are not the annual greenhouse geraniums (actually Pelargonium) found in many gardens. In general, they are free from insects and disease and don't require frequent division. Well drained soil is beneficial to all varieties. -- edited by dtd pbcouchman
History:
'Ann Folkard' is a hybrid cross between G. procurrens and G. psilostemon created in 1973 by an amateur gardener, Reverend O. G. Folkard, who named it after his daughter.
