Geranium Mary Anne

The 'Mary Anne' Perennial Geranium, like Rozanne, is a particularly floriferous and easy to grow variety. This plant forms a neat mound and produces pretty flowers for several months, with purple flowers veined with dark violet, bright and colourful. The plant, which does not sucker, forms a dome of foliage that spreads more or less as ground cover in sunny borders or even in partially shaded areas of the garden. Versatile and undemanding, it also looks great in pots or hanging baskets, where it creates beautiful decorations for the terrace or balcony.

The 'Mary Anne' Geranium belongs to the geranium family. This variety is part of a series of hybrids called Anne's Family®, selected for their long-lasting flowering, comparable to that of Rozanne, as well as for their low requirements. It is a perennial herbaceous plant with a non-suckering rootstock, whose vegetation persists or disappears in winter depending on the climate. 'Mary Anne' has the same characteristics as Rozanne in terms of vegetation and floral power. It has a semi-creeping habit, forming large bushy cushions at least 40cm in height and 50cm in width. It produces purple flowers with a lighter centre, 3-4cm in diameter, from May-June until October, without interruption. Its stems bear beautifully cut, apple-green leaves.

Why miss out on a ground cover with so many qualities? This perennial geranium Mary Anne grows enthusiastically in full sun or partial shade. It is hardy and can withstand even wet cold down to -20°C. This plant can border a bed or pathway, alongside easy and carefree perennials such as Alchemilla mollis, Nepeta 'Six Hill Giant', pink coneflowers like 'Fatal Attraction'... It will be very useful for filling the base of old shrub roses, giving them summer interest.
