Bunny, I grow Kashmir white in sun and a variety called Derek Cooke also in the sun and I like this one. I'm sure if you googled white geraniums there would be quite a few, Oh, I also grow Coombland White and a double flowered variety. I can't remember it's name.

I wish you could get all those varieties here. I had the purple psilostemon one and the deer ate it. OH has now fenced part of the garden, but I can't filled that geranium for sale. It was heart breaking, in 2011 the deer ate nearly everything. They weren't a problem at first then they got brave and even ate the pansies in the pots on the terrace just in front of the house. They thought I'd made a wild life park!

Christopher Lloyd ( my all time gardening hero) recommended Ann Folkard as not only attractive but a great companion plant with many others as it grows through them. I grow it with lavender, although it contrasts beautifully with any pink, blue, lilac flower. I very much like Psilostem too for it's magenta/black eye flower. If you want long flowering period, which most geraniums can't manage, go for Roseanne... specifically bred for this attribute. Quite a large plant so give it room. Almost a thug but very reliable and good foliage and coloured blue.

I love Christopher Loyds books too. Ann folkard is a great "sprawler" in my garden...yellowish foliage and magenta flowers but many geraniums do have a long flowering period. I have several that flower for most f the summer months. However, in mid summer I cut Ann folkard back quite hard and this makes a more controlled and attractive plant that then flowers until the autumn without swamping surrounding plants.
