Erodium 'Sweetheart'


Erodium 'Sweetheart' (Erodium cicutarium (Alfileria))

Such a sense of achievement at this first tiny flower. I grew these from seed last spring and it's taken until now to flower....pretty though...worth the wait!

Thanks everyone. I am really pleased with it. Seeds from Plants of Distinction I think. Every one germinated well, so worth a go.

Hallo Karen - did you see my question? I think your Erodium might be the same as the one I bought yesterday. Did yours come through the winter? I bought it from the owner of East Lambrook Manor Garden, and he says it's hardy.

'Sweetheart' is a commercial name used for Erodium trifolium. It is often wrongly named Erodium pelargoniflorum or pelargonifolium. The E. pelargoniflorum is an different species.
