Geranium incanum

Geranium incanum

Family: Geraniaceae

Common names: Carpet Geranium, Horlosies, Vrouetee, Bergtee

It has finely divided leaves which give it a soft texture in the garden.  The mauve flowers have identical petals.  It can be grown in full sun or semi-shade, although it does flower better and form a tighter carpet in full sun.

Sowing instructions: Seed can be sown directly onto a well prepared seedling medium in trays and lightly covered. Once watering has been commenced the trays should never be allowed to dry out completely. Seedlings can be transplanted into separate containers once they are large enough to handle.

Locality: Ex Hort. Harvest: February 2024
