Geranium maderense (2lt)

The Madeira cranesbill is the largest geranium. Huge balls of large purplish pink flowers with magenta centres above lush rosettes of shiny, deeply divided leaves on strong red stems that arch downwards and outwards. An outstanding evergreen variety that is best in a large pot where it can be taken into a cool greenhouse for winter. When repotting take care not to damage the lower leaf stalks as these rest on the ground or pot edge and help support the plant. Cut these off and the plant will invariabley rock snapping the roots and die. Be warned! Can be grown outdoors in a sunny, sheltered location. Height and spread upto 1m. Short lived perennial so collect seeds after flowering.  Very special.
