Plant of the Day
Monday 17 August 2020
In the entrance way to the Beth Chatto Garden, Essex, UK, a Pelargonium trifidum (brittle-stalked pelargonium) greeted visitors with the flowers appearing to hover over the edge of the container. This South African plant is described as an “aromatic sprawling shrublet with several scrambling branches” and in its native habitat is pollinated by long-tongue flies. It will need to be placed indoors or a glasshouse for the winter in the UK as it is not hardy.
