  A prolific geranium, similar to ‘Rozanne’ but having bright pink flowers with a darker pink vein and a contrasting white centre. The flowering period is very long: from late spring to the first frost making ‘Kelly-Anne’ invaluable for biodiversity. As summer fades, the leaves turn from fiery orange, to red in a magnificent autumnal display. Perfect for underplanting roses, or filling a few gaps in the front of a border, it copes well in full sun or partial shade.
  
  
• Garden care: When planting ‘Kelly Anne’, incorporate some well-rotted compost into the planting hole. In midsummer, rejuvenate plants that are beginning to look jaded by cutting back old flowered stems and leaves to their growth points at soil level and feed with seaweed extract. Once established, lift and divide large clumps in spring.
