Geranium incanum.



Geranium incanum.


Going up to the paddock the other day to take some cuttings at work, this beacon of colour radiated out from underneath the silver birch at me. I didn't have my camera but Lisa one of my co workers did and she took the photo's for me, Thank you Lisa.
Geranium incanum a South African from the Cape - Hout Bay to Port Alfred which explains why it does so well in Australia. The form usually grown is Geranium incanum var. Multifidum  a strong grower, a large flush of flowers in Spring with a smattering of flowers through out summer into Autumn, beautiful filigree leaves that are divided and then divided again, with red tints in Autumn. Easy from cuttings taken in Spring using a hormone powder or liquid and seed.
