Geranium Palmatum

Description

This is perhaps the most impressive and spectacular of all hardy herbaceous Geraniums with sprays of deepest pink exotic flowers and large clumps of glossy divided foliage with reddish stems. Originating in Madeira, it is best in a sheltered spot, but has survived minus 11 degrees Celcius unscathed in our gardens here.

Sowing Advice

Sow immediately at any time onto preferably a soil-based compost, covering with fine grit to approximately their own depth. Germination MAY be quicker if kept at 15 to 20 degrees C. but many seeds WILL NOT come up the year they are sown, needing winter chilling after sowing, and ONLY come up with natural spring germination.
