P. betulinum is an unusual plant that is likely to be an original parent of many decorative and regal forms of Pelargoniums (along with P. cucullatum) and has been cultivated since 1759.  It has an upright habit with lush green leaves which are rounded and serrated.  It produces vibrant mauve flowers which have heavy purple feathering.

 

These plants are supplied in a 6cm biodegradable pot which you can put straight into the pot or location you wish.  As time goes on the pot will simply compost down and the plant will happily grow on.

Position: Full sun

Hardiness: Requires protection from frost

Growing media: A loam based compost or a good quality multipurpose compost.

How to care for your plant:

 If used as summer bedding plant at least 40cm apart.
 Remove dead flowers regularly and feed once a week with a high potash feed (a good tomato feed will do it!) to encourage a better & longer flowering season.
 Water well, then allow compost to dry before watering again.
