Pelargonium enthusiasts
Pelargonium is a genus of flowering plants which includes about 280 species of perennials, succulents, and shrubs, commonly known as geraniums, pelargoniums, or storksbills.
Pelargonium species are evergreen perennials indigenous to warm temperate and tropical regions of the world, with many species in southern Africa. They are drought and heat tolerant, but can tolerate only minor frosts. Some species are extremely popular garden plants, grown as houseplants and bedding plants in temperate regions. They have a long flowering period, with flowers mostly in red, orange, or white; but intensive breeding has produced a huge array of cultivars with great variety in size, flower colour, leaf form and aromatic foliage.

Any pelergonium collectors in Minnesota? North Dakota? Looking to buy plants for my collection. I'm from Canada and there are only a few states from which I can bring plants home from
I’ve recently come into possession of some pelargoniums. They’re neat, but I just don’t get the same enjoyment out of them as I do with euphorbs, cacti, orchids, and caudiciforms.
I have small plants of the following species (links go to pictures of actual plants):
I’m looking to trade these plants for aroids or any tropical houseplants with interesting growth habit or foliage (mail or local).
If you're local to Scotts Valley, CA area, I'd also just give them to you if you promise to take good care of them :) They're interesting little guys and deserve a home where they'll be appreciated.
Just want advice on pruning a fairly old large pelargonium? It has become quite woody.should i cut it back to roots?
