Description
The 'Ann Folkard' perennial Geranium is a magnificent hybrid, an exuberant plant with generous and colourful flowering. It forms large creeping stems that, when they encounter an obstacle, rise to a height of almost 2 metres (7 feet). Its corollas of intense magenta colour have veins and a very contrasting black centre. They bloom on beautiful golden toothed foliage in spring, turning green in summer. This exceptional perennial plant, an award-winner in England, should be planted near your most beautiful roses!
The 'Ann Folkard' Geranium is a hybrid of the famous Geranium psilostemon, known for its abundant magenta and black flowering, and the creeping Geranium procurrens. It has the hardiness and abundant flowering of one, and the vigour and colourful foliage of the other. From the robust stump, spring shoots grow that extend along the ground or take support from neighbouring plants. Without support it forms a wide and beautiful cushion, reaching a height of 50-60 cm (20-24in) and a width of 80 cm (32in) to 1.20 m (4ft). Its palmate and toothed leaves are so pale green at the beginning of their growth that they appear golden. It blooms from June to October. The magenta-red flowers, veined with black and with a black eye, have a diameter of 3-4 cm (1-2in) and bloom for months. The above-ground vegetation, deciduous, dries up in autumn.
Plant the 'Ann Folkard' hybrid Geranium in sunny, rich, rather moist and light soil, in a perennial border or bed, accompanied by e.g. bellflowers, delphiniums, Damask nigellas, yarrows, blue, pink or purple bushy salvias. This variety is remarkable at the base of flowerbed roses or shrub roses, which it climbs without invading them.

Planting and care
One can let the Geranium Ann Folkard cover the ground, but it's never as beautiful as when its long branches reach into a shrub, or even better a rose bush, and cling to its branches. Plant it in any good, loose garden soil, fairly fertile, neither too wet nor too dry. It can be placed in full sun or partial shade.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
