geranium maderense in my garden..

Hi Sandra, glad yours has survived as well.

its the only one out there Pam...a self seeder...fingers still crossed though....

Good to see the survivors.Our "hardy " fuschias really took a hammering...not sure if will survive.....

exciting times ahead when we find out what lives....

Yes isnt it...

glad it made it through sandra :o)

It's lovely glad its survived for you, shows the men from the boys when cold weather hits hard, so this must be a man lol .

We do the same thing over here right now at the tail-end of summer ... keep our fingers crossed that certain things will make it through the high humidity levels and the extreme heat and harsh sunlight. Just like you with your winters! So far .... a couple of the regal pellies have given up completely! Glad to see this beauty came through for you.

I'm glad it survived Sandra; I think I have lost my only specimen, the pot was frozen solid despite being covered in fleece.It was the hard frost that has caused most damage here in London, I wish we had more snow to act as insulation.

this one should flower this year...i hope....but i have a few tucked away in the tunel....n more snow Rbt.....i liked it but glad its all gone now...

It.s looking good Sandra, albeit all that freezing weather we've had. I think I might leave one on the ground this year, and see what happens.......... As for my fuchsias, they were doing very well indeed, but not anymore, will wait and see............ :-)

its too soon to tell with fuchsia...they sprout from deep inside the plant after frost...

Yes you're right Sandra, I've had fuchsias looking completely dead, sometimes well into the growing season, then little shoots and off they go. I left a few specie ones in pots outside this winter, so it's a question of wait and see.

will it wont it....its what makes gardening wxciting....lol

Sandra:

Wow! I didn't know Geranium maderense was hardy to snow. I'm glad it made it through the snow for you!

Geranium maderense plants grows wild in Balboa Park...they're almost ready to bloom now. I'll take some photos soon. : > )

they will only cope with a little. there were loads of selfseeders last year but they are in my tunel. i like leaving a few oout just to see how they do. im delighted this one has survived. it should flower this year. ill look forward to your ics...;-))

Sandra:

It must be a good feeling to know this plant will tolerate snow...and survive.

The plants in Balboa Park have the flower spikes out...I would guess in a couple of weeks they should start to bloom.
