Geranium maderese


Geranium maderese

These are huge plants, and as soon as they drop a few seeds, I can take them out since they will die shortly after seed sets.

Beautiful colour and shape Wylie. So do they self seed for next year or does it take a time for them to grow to this size?

They self seed - a lot. It takes 2-3 years to bloom, but the leaves are huge, sometimes 12" across, and look spectacular. The plants are about 4' tall.

I have those also Wylie. They were hard to find then. Annie's Annual's had them.
If they pop up to fill a spot- fine.

It's been awhile ( a whiley?) since I've see a bloom. Very nice row there.

I got my original seeds from a company in Spain that specialized in seeds of Macaronesia and the Azores. I set aside a couple of spots I don't want to fuss with, and they have really taken over.

They dominate the areas they are allowed to grow freely in. I cope with the foliade, and then the flower heads explode and it can be difficult to get past them as the bumblebees love them.
