I love it , what a fantastic flower plantoholic.

never heard of this perennial pelargonium before. what an unusual plant. what temperature do you keep it at, light levels etc.
Lovely blog :o)

How lovely, does it come in other colours please? I know there is always one!!

How interesting. I've never heard of that :o)

Fascinating......not come across this one before :-)

Thankyou for the lovely comments, no other colours of this paticular species dottydaisy but there are other species pelargoniums that have a similar life cycle.
Hi Seaburngirl, as much light as possible in winter, some whitewash shadeing in summer.Temperature in winter minimum apx 5c ( dropped a bit lower in December!!)when flowers finished & seed collected in summer plant is allowed to dry out.

Thanks for the info - fascinating!

It's nice to see a species Pelargonium. I work with a collection of them, but this is one we don't have. Superb pictures.

Hi Rbtkew it must be great to work with so many fantastic plants, i grow several pelargonium species will post more photos as they flower.

Lovely flowers: reminds me a little of triffidum in the colour. I love Geraniums and Pelargoniums.
It is really great to see the correct names being applied to the pants: it gets right up my nose when Pelargoniums are referred to as geraniums!
This winter, I lost my P.sidoides and P.abrotanifolium both of which had been happily growing on my raised beds for the past 3 years with no protection.
