They need to be protected against temperatures in the 30's F., and below, and excessive winter rain when they are not in active growth. Language links are at the top of the page across from the title. (v) Deacon varieties Genetic hybrid similar to a large Dwarf. They have distinctly scented leaves, and small flowers with blotched and feathered petals. [11] However phylogenetic analysis shows only three distinct clades, labelled A, B and C.[21] In this analysis not all sections were monophyletic although some were strongly supported including Chorisma, Myrrhidium and Jenkinsonia, while other sections were more paraphyletic. Other Groups Not mentioned.Unique Pelargoniums.These are very similar to the larger growing Scented Leaved Pelargoniums but tend to have a more attractive flower both in colour and form. Price and Jeffrey D. Palmer. there would be two subgenera, based on clades A+B, and C respectively and seven sections based on subclades. frutetorum.

In the 1970s the British Pelargonium and Geranium Society produced a checklist and the Australian Geranium Society started to produce a register but it was not completed till its author, Jean Llewellyn's death in 1999. The majority of the pelargonium species are to be found in the Republic of South Africa, mostly in the south western corner. Prof. J.J.A. For exhibition purposes there is a separate class for 'Stellar' varieties, but being Zonals could be shown in an open class for Basic, Dwarf or Miniature Zonals (unless otherwise stated). [8] The centre of diversity is in southwestern South Africa where rainfall is confined to the winter, unlike the rest of the country where rainfall is predominantly in the summer months. Excessive solicitude is the root problem. [49][47] Flowers are single, rarely double, in mauve, pink, purple or white. The oils of the scented pelargoniums contain citronellol, geraniol, eugenol, alpha pinene and many other compounds. As before the internal structure of the clades supported monophyly of some sections (Myrrhidium, Chorisma, Reniformia, Pelargonium, Ligularia and Hoarea) but paraphyly in others (Jenkinsonia, Ciconium, Peristera). [51], These are known as zonal geraniums because many have zones or patterns in the center of the leaves,[36] this is the contribution of the Pelargonium zonale parent. Conservatory If youre housing your plants in a conservatory remember to ventilate it in the summer as temperatures in unventilated conservatories can easily reach 50 degrees centigrade, which not only causes the Pelargoniums stress but can provide wonderful breeding conditions for whitefly and other aphids. P. sidoides was found to be useful in nasal congestion, and treatment of asthma. They have rounded leaves and bear clusters of flowers on long stalks. Pinch stems to prevent legginess and promote bushiness. If left unpruned, they will never achieve the strong woody growth, which is necessary for them to make shapely robust plants. You should refer instead to the current version of The Plant List. Leaves are lobed, toothed, incised or variegated.

This is a catch-all group of plants, some of which date back to the 1860s in the UK and others of which have been recently hybridized by Jay Kapac in Southern California. Although scented pelargoniums exist which have smells of citrus, mint, pine, spices or various fruits, the varieties with rose scents are most commercially important. Pelargonium are easy to propagate, just need to cut a part of the plant and put it in water to grow new roots and can be planted again. Water regularly during growing season. For full details visit their website (b) Tricolour (May be Silver Tricolour (usually called a Silver Leaf) or a Gold Tricolour). a few species in East Africa and Ethiopia. The night-scented pelargonium species are mostly tuberous rooted, and are winter growing/summer dormant, as are a number of other pelargonium species on the list. [49]Usually of lax growth (trailing), mainly due to the long thin stems, with thick, waxy ivy-shaped stiff fleshy evergreen leaves developed by the species P. peltatum to retain moisture during periods of drought.

[44] PAGS is the International Cultivar Registration Authority (ICRA) of the International Society for Horticultural Science for pelargoniums. Related species: The shape and hairiness of the leaves as well as the large creamy flowers are strongly reminiscent of Pelargonium articulatum (Cav.) The Pelargonium greenhouse should be equipped with a heater and kept frost-free at all times. They will require plenty of light over the winter period so garages and dark rooms arent suitable. Ht. Pelargoniums, although not difficult plants, are fussy about potting compost. Subgenus Magnipetala: Corresponds to clade C1, with 24 species. [8] There is considerable confusion as to which Pelargonium are true species, and which are cultivars or hybrids. Petals five and equal, colour pink to red sometimes white. The flower has a single symmetry plane (zygomorphic), which distinguishes it from the Geranium flower, which has radial symmetry (actinomorphic). Ivy pelargoniums are often sold as series such as 'Great Balls of Fire', in a variety of colours such as 'Great Balls of Fire Burgundy'. Aphids suck the foliage of their victims, leaving the leaves with pale mottled patches. [84], Pelargonin (pelargonidin 3,5-O-diglucoside) is a petal pigment of the scarlet pelargonium.
