PELARGONIUM australe

Description

Pelargonium australe

Height & Spread 10-50cms x 10-50cms

This is a tender, bushy, evergreen perennial with dark green foliage and red stems. The flowers are small, white and consist of five petals with red veins.

Ideal for pots and containers that can be moved inside before the conditions become too cold. This little plant is super easy to maintain as it is intolerant of moist conditions, so occasionally forgetting to water will not be a problem.  

Happiest in full sun and free-draining soil or potting media which is neutral to alkaline  It can also take part-shade if all the other criteria are met. Irrigate moderately in Spring and Summer but more sparingly in Winter, allowing the soil to dry out completely between watering. Overwinter in dry, bright, frost free-conditions and dead-head regularly to promote continued flowering.
