Pelargonium tetragonum (100 seeds)

Pelargonium tetragonum. (Square-stemmed Pelargonium) It is a plant adapted to grow in dry habitats (xerophyte). It branches from the base and if supported by other vegetation, will reach a height of 2 m. The plant tends to sprawl, but can be successfully grown as a pot specimen. Pelargonium tetragonum is distinguished by its almost leafless, three- to four-angled, jointed and succulent stems. When present, the leaves are fleshy, palm-shaped and sometimes have red zonal markings. The very attractive cream to pink flowers occur in pairs on the flower stem. Sowing : Seed should be sown 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. Locality: Ex Hort. Harvest: October 2021
