P. echinatum album is a very pretty and interesting plant to grow.  It has a bushy habit with long stems producing a fireworks display of pure white flowers with almost heart shaped red markings on its upper petals - for this reason it was known for a long time as the 'sweetheart pelargonium'.


These plants are grown in a 6cm biodegradable pot.

Size of plants will vary depending on the variety due to different growing habits. Photos are provided as an example and will differ from the plant supplied.

 

Position: Sunny

Hardiness: Requires protection from frost - This plant also has a dormancy period, where by they drop their leaves. Minimum water is required to prevent dehydration.

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

Growth rate:  Fast

Flowering period: All year round

 

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.
