Description

Pelargonium 'Ann Folkard' is a shrubby perennial. Enjoys full sun, but needs light shade in hot climates. Plant in any good, fast-draining soil. Does well in pots. Remove faded flowers regularly to encourage growth. The flowers have a velvety look; petals are purple but centers and veins are black. It grows to about 20" high and 30" wide. Can be used as a ground cover or for borders along paths.

Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
