Kalwerbossie geranium Pelargonium sidoides A real beauty from south Africa. This exemplary species has velvety, silver, crinkled leaves. Over a long period, it exhibits sprays of butterfly-shaped, rich wine-red to nearly black flowers, which contrast dramatically with the foliage. Its small stature makes it a perfect candidate for a container, hanging baskets, borders, as fillers in rockeries or a walkway edge. It has been used medicinally for the treatment of various infections, including bronchitis. It is a native of Africa. Care: Deadhead spent flowers consistently. Grow in neutral to alkaline well-drained soil and preferably full sun.
In the wild, P. sidoides experiences moderate, rather than high, summer temperatures and winter frost or even snow over much of its range. Make sure it has good drainage especially in winter time. Top dressing with a slow release fertilizer in spring will improve growth and flowering in summer. In winter, dead leaves and old flower stalks should be removed from the plant. This plant is very tough and when established drought tolerant. The dark chocolate maroon almost black flowers look great with contrasting plants that have lime green flowers or leaves. It’s so small; I’m sure you find a spot for this little beauty?

This auction is for 1 potted plant pb2 15x15cm.

Have a look at my other auction with special and rare plants. Yes I do combine freight cost.

I do combine freight cost, so please ask for a quote you don't have to pay freight for every single plant if you buy more than 1. Its just difficult to make a flat rate as water lilies are so much heavier than normal potted plants and it would be unfair to charge a "heavy" rate for every customer.
