The hardy perennial geranium is a good ground cover plant with many varieties to choose from.
G. Johnsons Blue pictured is a strain of G. pratense and is a strong growing, self spreading plant.
A pink geranium G. sanguenium is commonly found in many cottage gardens with it profuse pink flowers that have two flushes if cut back after the initial show. G Anna Folkard has a trailing habit and needs some control in my garden.
Along with Johnsons Blue and Anna Folkard, Kashmir White has an Award of Garden Merit but I recommend you see plants in flower if you are looking to acquire it for a special colour or habit so that you make sure you are getting a good base stock that is worth the AGM.
The black Mourning Widow G. Phaeum like shade and self seeds profusely. My stock is also a weedy short lived flowering example that I am trying to throw out.
