Hardy geraniums are native to Europe and not suited to hanging baskets. Tender pelargoniums are native to South Africa and come in trailing/tumblig forms as well as upright.
The confusion over the names comes because pelargoniums have a similar seed structure to native geraniums which are also known as cranesbills because of those seed pods.

Hardy geraniums look like this for example. If it's not these, a photo might help just to confirm. Judging by your description though, my money's still on a type of pelargonium
