A Robust Trailing Ground Cover
Quite social, this award-winning Cranesbill loves to mingle! She’ll weave around and through her neighbors. Bright yellow foliage emerges in spring and then transitions to chartreuse. Seemingly endless dark-eyed, rich purple-magenta flowers perform from summer to fall. Geranium Ann Folkard has been reported to grow up to 6’ across so give it plenty of room. Winner of the Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society. Our plant spacing recommendations are based on how quickly groundcovers will spread in their first season of growth.

Geranium General Information

Perennial Geranium are always a favorite for its late spring to summer bloom time. Lovely foliage complements the flowers well. Many of the flowers exhibit interesting veining. Cranesbill Geranium are ideal for slopes and rock gardens. Long-lived and drought tolerant once established. Little or no maintenance. Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho at this time.

Geranium Plant Care

A hybrid of G. procurrens x G. psilostemon, this vigorous variety can be cut back hard if needed. Snip off spent flowering stems at the base. Should flowering stop in the heat of the summer, shear tops back to new growth to stimulate rebloom and freshen foliage. Generally does not need division but can be divided in spring or fall if desired.

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!

100% Guarantee

We offer a 100% guarantee for all our perennials to reach you in good condition and to grow. If you're not satisfied, we'll reship or refund immediately. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns—we share your passion for gardening and want your new plants to thrive in your border!
