Pelargonium
sidoides |
| When I was
growing up everybody had geraniums in the front planter and it was always
the same red flowered variety. I got sick of them.
Now there are all of these species geraniums and I think it is great. Geraniums are
no longer boring. Pelargonium sidoides has felty gray leaves that glisten with
the dew on them and deep burgundy flowers. Pelargonium sidoides is almost always in bloom and fits in well with lavenders and grasses. I often
place Pelargonium sidoides in the front of a border because it can be depended upon to put on a show and to stay
put. Pelargonium sidoides can even make an interesting
bonsai. It tends to have an interesting branching structure and the
leaves will get very small if it is stressed.
