Hardy Geraniums

Diana,
I'm at a loss regarding 'Ann Folkard'.  Please keep trying and if I find 
one this weekend I'll take a stab at it, too.  'A.T. Johnson is an 
endressii and needs to be divided.  The problem with most hardies is that 
the stems, though long, produce only flowers at the nodes.  Some 
exceptions are sanguineum and cinereum- ('Lawrence Flatman' is a 
cinereum) these can be propagated from stem cuttings, division, or root 
cuttings.  I had 100% success with root cuttings from G. sanguineum album 
last fall.  After rending it apart for divisions I took 2" cuttings from 
roots broken off in the division process and potted 3 to a 4" pot 
(horizotal-I couldn't tell up/down since they were no longer attached and 
this was an afterthought) covered with 1/2" soil watered and waited.  
Kept in cool greenhouse over winter and by May had three flats of 4".  
It's great when it works!
Hope this was of help.
Fellow listers-sorry this was so long.
