The alternative is to feed with liquid potassium fertiliser (I.e. Summer growing plants, which are noted in the list, should be allowed to go dormant for three to four months over the winter, and then be watered lightly for the rest of the year. Castille soap is ideal or a horticultural soap. Less vigorous varieties such as P. Deerwood Lavender Lad or P. Angel Eyes Orange must not be overpotted and should be put first into a 7cm.

Angels basically have the appearance of a small Regal with small serrated leaves and much smaller flowers and are more compact and bushy. The Geraniaceae have a number of genetic features unique amongst angiosperms, including highly rearranged plastid genomes differing in gene content, order and expansion of the inverted repeat. [8], Pelargonium has around 280 species. Overwatering, particularly in winter is probably the cause of more plant losses than pests and frost put together. Miniature miniature leaves and flowers, stems with short nodes, and compact growth. The Garden wouldn't be the Garden without our Members, Donors and Volunteers.

They are easy to propagate vegetatively from cuttings. 2532 1916. We are particularly indebted to Jay Kapac, a pelargonium breeder from Southern California. Ivies are very useful in hanging baskets, for draping over walls, or as a ground cover. While Geranium species are mostly temperate herbaceous plants, dying down in winter, Pelargonium species are evergreen perennials indigenous to warm temperate and tropical regions of the world, with many species in southern Africa. They should therefore, be grown in all but the mildest areas of the U.S. with winter shelter, usually in a conservatory or greenhouse. Scented geraniums are perhaps best grown in areas where the foliage can be easily brushed or touched, such as in containers (e.g., patios or decks), hanging baskets, window boxes, edgings along paths or walks or houseplants. Geranium is also the botanical name and common name of a separate genus of related plants, also known as cranesbills. Plants usually stop flowering when the nighttime temperatures rise, but flowering can be greatly extended by pruning and fertilizing. The Scented and Uniques are a mixed bag.

[8] There is considerable confusion as to which Pelargonium are true species, and which are cultivars or hybrids. Other terms include Langley-Smith Hybrids.[49]. They should therefore, be grown in all but the mildest areas of the U.S. with winter shelter, usually in a conservatory or greenhouse. Phylogenetic Relationships of the Geraniaceae and Geraniales from rbcL Sequence Comparisons. Pelargoniums need constant stopping, during the early stages of growth.

Decorative pelargoniums (Decoratives) Descendants of older, less compact, smaller-flowered varieties that are more suited to outdoor conditions. With larger leaf varieties, it is advisable to trim the leaves down to about half their size; this reduces transpiration, which the rootless cuttings can ill sustain; it also improves air circulation between cuttings, thus lessening the chances of botrytis. (+species list (Note: includes synonyms)) ITIS link: Pelargonium L'Hr. Cuttings for larger varieties may be up to six inches in length, although for short jointed varieties such as angels they may be only as much as an inch. 2 P. articulatum Prof. J.J.A. In autumn, plants need severe pruning, to reduce the quantity of foliage, and ensure good light penetration to all parts of the plant and good air circulation between the foliage. frutetorum. 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. Occasionally scented types can be found in some of the other groups mentioned; for example, the Angels, having P. crispum in their genetic makeup, can often have a strong citrus scent.

Hybrid Ivy the result of ivy zonal crosses, but still more closely resemble ivy-leaved pelargoniums. In addition to "Regals" they are also known as Show Pelargoniums. To encourage a flush of suitable growth many growers cut back their stock plants hard, about a month or so before the cuttings are required. Subgenus Pelargonium: Corresponds to clade A, with 167 species. Remember that wild forms or species Pelargoniums do not require feeding as much as the blousy hybrids.

In 1774, P.cordatum, P.crispum, P.quercifolium and P.radula were introduced, followed by P.capitatum in 1790. Single varieties tend to have larger elongated triangular petals whereas doubles tend to have thin feathered petals that are tightly packed together. Pelargonium (/plroni.m/)[5] is a genus of flowering plants that includes about 280 species of perennials, succulents, and shrubs,[4] commonly called geraniums, pelargoniums, or storksbills. Pelargonium, commonly known as Geranium, is a genus of about 250 species, as well as many hybrids and cultivars. Southern Africa contains 90% of the genus, with only about 30 species found elsewhere, predominantly the East African rift valley (about 20 species) and southern Australia, including Tasmania. This is because a number of the more modern hybrids have been crossed with Regals to produce what are known as Hybrid Uniques. It has naturalised along the Mediterranean, but does not survive the winter in Westen Europe. Aphids suck the foliage of their victims, leaving the leaves with pale mottled patches.
