    Geranium ‘Ann Folkard’  (Geranium procurrens x Geranium psilostemon) A brilliant sterile hybrid raised by Reverand Oliver Folkard in Lincolnshire in 1973. Although the crown of this plant is very compact, it sends out long straggling branching stems that mound up to a substantial 2m across. The leaves are bright yellow when young and the perfect foil or a dreadful clash (dependant on your opinion) with the bright magenta, dark eyed flowers. Flowers from June till the first frosts. Stem cuttings will often root, but seldom grow away.

    An Alan Bremner hybrid of the same parentage as the better known 'Anne Folkard', namely G.procurrens x G.psilostemon. Geranium 'Anne Thompson' is a more compact form. It spreads to 90cm as it meanders its way through the foliage of its neighbours, reaching about 50cm in height. Its young leaves are golden tinged but less brash than those of 'Anne Folkard' and is perhaps easier to place in the garden as its tones are subtler. In flower it is nearly identical with relatively large quite flat bright magenta pink, black-eyed flowers with stamens that begin salmon pink. The flowers of 'Anne Thompson' are possibly a little more lustrous. Coming as it does from the Orkney Islands it is well versed in Scottish Winters but does need reasonable drainage. It can be grown in sun or partial shade, the golden hue of the leaves becoming more intense in bright conditions.

    Geranium 'Dusky Rose' A newly bred variety which forms a low tight spreading mound of gorgeous chocolate-burgundy foliage. From May to September the plant will be studded with soft baby-pink flowers. 15cm high and 30cm spread. This is a sister plant to Geranium ‘Bertie Crug’ with slightly lighter baby-pink flowers and much better leaf colouring. A seedling from G. sessiliflorum 'Nigricans' probably a cross with G.oxonianum.

    Really vibrant 4cm wide flowers in a rich magenta pink with a deeper, almost purple venation and a gorgeous boss of blue-black stamens. The flowers are carried over really long season and look lovely with the black foliage of Ophiopogon which picks up the blackness of the eyes. The foliage in Spring is startlingly pale lemon with whiter edges and ages to a matt green with a hint of the darker spots typical of Geranium x oxonianum. Raised at Elworthy Cottage by Jenny Spiller in 2001 which is really all the recommendation you need. G.endressii ? crossed with G.wallichianum.

    Geranium ‘Nimbus’ (Geranium collinum x Geranium clarkei ‘Kashmir Purple’) Geranium 'Nimbus' is a fine new cultivar which is already earning a good reputation. Flowers are freely produced, bluish purple with a small pale eye. Petals are relatively narrow leaving a gap between each that gives the flower a starry appearance. The foliage, which emerges ochre tinted, is finely cut and pale apple green. Large and spreading.  May to July. Occurred in Cambridge University Botanic Garden in197 9.

    Geranium Orion (Geranium ‘Brookside' seedling, possibly a cross with G.ibericum). Geranium 'Orion' is very similar to its parent, Geranium ‘Brookside’, but with larger (6.5cm) flowers of violet-blue, rather rhan the truer blue of  Geranium 'Brookside'. Strong growth combines with beautiful finely divided foliage and amply  produced large violet-blue flowers; each paler in the centre with violet veining. Forms a tight crown from which arise stiff branching stems with a long stalked flower produced from each axil. 60cm tall and a little wider. This arose as a seedling from Geranium 'Brookside'. Great either as a free standing mound or scrambling through low shrubs.

    (Geranium albiflorum x Geranium sylvaticum) I was drawn to this delicate geranium as it was so different from its cousins. It has small lustrous mauve flowers, 1cm wide with petals quite widely spaced. It has a lovely little curly puce pink style and flushes of magenta bee-lines. It really comes into its own when established and flowering en masse when the effect is quite charming. 45-90cm. An Alan Bremner cross.

    Geranium 'Rozanne' (Geranium 'Jolly Bee') ='Gerwat'. (Geranium himalayense x Geranium wallichianum ‘Buxton’s Variety’). A new introduction with very large, well rounded flowers, each a rich blue with a white central eye and dark red veining. Sends out sprawling, branching stems from a tight crown which mound up to at least  1m across and 45cm high, Flowers start in June and can go on right until November, at their height covering the whole mound. If needed flowering can be refreshed by chopping the stems half back mid season. Good strong constitution and a long flowering season. Good Autumn colour. Most resembles a more robust version of its parent Geranium ‘Buxton’s Variety’ Despite all its accolades, Geranium 'Rozanne' started life modestly as a chance find. Rozanne Waterer and her husband, Donald, spotted an unusual looking seedling in 1998 at the bottom of their garden in Kilve in Somerset. After it flowered the next year from June to November with large blue flowers they took it to Adrian Bloom who identified it as a new hybrid. It was named after Mrs Waterer and has since been named Plant of the Centenary at the Chelsea Flower Show 2013. It made it's debut at Chelsea in 2000.

Each flower is a shiny texture, coloured towards the bluer end of deep sugar pink with darker pink veining.  The leaves are a pale green, resembling most the Geranium ibericum parent as does the plants general habit. A plant that will earn its keep in any planting scheme. 90cm. Bred originally by Hans Simon in Marktheidenfeld in 1992, an identical hybrid was also raised by Alan Bremner on Orkney.

    (syn. Geranium 'Verguld Saffier') This variety is a cross between 'Ann Folkard' and wallichianum 'Buxton's variety', inheriting characteristics of both. It has the yellow leaves of the former, longer lasting than the parent, with flowers in a pinky-blue produced all throughout the summer. Its AGM says it is undoubtedly a good cultivar, but anyone who knows me, knows my thoughts on plants that pair yellow leaves and pink flowers so I'll shut up now. It has a low growing, sprawling habit, making it ideal for the front of the border. It is a little smaller than 'Ann Folkard'. It is reliable, but likes some shade to do its best. Originally found as a seedling in Hans Kramer's de Hessenhof nursery in about. 1994 40 X 110cm

    Large, circular, pure white flowers (4.5cm, 2in). That is the petal overlap to give a bold effect with pleasantly undulating edges. The centres are pale, the anthers inconspicuous, but the many bee lines are picked out in deep papal purple creating the ghost of blush centre. The outer third remains pure white. A lovely thing, a bit like G.'Kashmir White' on steroids. Collected by Derrick Cook in 1984 in Narang province, Nepal. 30-45cm. Mature leaves are very large.

    Geranium macrorrhizum 'Ingwersen's Variety'. This is a fantastic Geranium to grow in dry sites where other plants might struggle. It produces generous mounds of soft, hairy, highly fragrant pale green leaves spreading by means of runners. the flowers are blush pink, produced in small clusters. Each one has a red eye and long dangling spider-legs stamens with red anthers. To finish the effect the calyx is red also. 2ft tall. Easily grown and very reliable. In the stems and general demeanour of Geraniumm macrorrhizum you can see a kinship with their cousins the Pelargoniums. Originally collected by Walter Ingwersen on Mount Koprivnik in Montenegro in 1929. and introduced by Birch Farm in 1930.

    This is one of those plants whose flowers warrant the closest of inspection as they posses the sort of intricate beauty that can easily get overlooked amongst some of their more brash cousins but which nevertheless is as exquisite as they come. Each flower is a translucent lavender-white shaded to the edges and picked out lavender in the veins. Where the petals overlap the colour is stronger and from the white eye protrude a green style and pink anthers. Typical green G.phaeum foliage with small but distinct chocolate spots.

    Geranium x cantabrigense 'Hanne'. The flowers of this new Danish cultivar are a pearly blueish pink with a distinct white border. The effect is enhanced by a darker pink eye and stamens and the deep colour of the calyces which persist after the flowers fade. Intensely fragrant mats of low evergreen foliage which is particularly neat and 'just so' in its appearance. G. x cantabrigiense is a sterile hybrid raised first at Cambridge university Botanic Garden in 1974, but also occurring in the wild. Grows only about 20cm tall, but will spread to form a dense evergreen mat. Flowers May to July. 2009
