Description
I fell on this trailing, ivy-leaved geranium outside a taverna in the Amari Valley in Crete. It's plush and velvety and yet not sombre and I absolutely love it.
Pelargonium flowers of all varieties can be used to decorate puddings, cakes and scattered onto salads. The scented types are also delicious in cordials or tisanes.
Care Tips
Water and feed plants well in summer and deadhead to encourage a second flush of flowers. Lift the plants and pot them up inside before the frost, cutting the top growth back by one third as you do so.
