(Pelargonium tricolor x P.ovale)
An excellent hybrid Pelargonium raised in the 1950s that is hardy enough to have attracted the attention of the mass producers, and now turns up from
time to time in garden centres. Does well in a pot, and has been hardy under cover.
In these days, when you only have to whisper the words 'patio plant' to be surrounded by a gaggle of drooling half-wits it is nice to find something that will really enjoy
a dry sunny location!
