Pelargonium appendiculatum

Pelargonium appendiculatum

It is a geophyte (tuberous) plant to 30 cm tall with a very short stem, covered with grey, irregularly incised, feathery leaves. The flowers are white or pale yellow. The ear-shaped, exceptionally broad and rigid stipules, and the silky, decompound leaves distinguish this plant from all allied species.

Sowing instructions: Seed should be sown in autumn in a well-drained seedling mix, and need only be covered lightly with the sowing mix, clean coarse sand or milled bark. The trays should be kept moist in a warm but shaded position.
