There's still quite a lot.of.colour in my garden, but Ann is the star attraction. I was hoping to do a little bit of gardening, I threw the ball for Lucy and opened the shed. That's as far as I got and, now it's raining! Wine O' clock and watching an old black and white comedy is my plan of attack now 😁💜💜

If anyone is looking for a great flowering and reliable hardy Geranium, I highly recommend this one and Rozanne. Ann was planted last year and she's incredible this year. She needs space to roam though, she's a real spreader 💜💜💕💕

Ann with an unknown hardy Geranium, I got it from the local GC. It was unlabeled and not in the Geranium section. The very kind lady on the till let me have it for £1.50!! Wow! It's a first. She also let me have my Salvia Blue Note, which did have a label, but the very kind lady still let me have it for £1.50. My lucky day was Thursday 💜💜💕💕

@jpea I'm looking forward to seeing my Wargrave Pink too. I bought it before lockdown, earlier actually. I might need to move it though. I had an idea to mingle it in with my Rozanne Geranium but that goes mad when that gets going. Silly me I put them too close together. That's a job for the next good day if not tomorrow. Have a nice weekend 🥂

When I dug it up all the foliage had died right back so I dug up a root ball, forgetting what it was and thinking it was another ladies mantel that are thugs & seed around my garden 😮

It has acid gree/yellow frothy flowers, in early summer, and pretty leaves, but can be a real thug 😬
