Pat Ontario Zone 6   Gardenfiend  My Weather Posted on Sunday, May 30, 2004 - 12:55 pm:    That is just the kind of pelargonium I've been looking for and can't seem to find this year. So beautiful! I'm curious - how long have you had the plant?

Very, very slow growing and difficult to get a cutting to root. Here is a close-up of the flowers Have you tried Angel Pelargoniums, small flowers and compact plants. Here's a couple of links for you to view. http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~firtre/Angel%20Pelargoniums.htm http://www.firtreespelargoniums.co.uk/ Kath Zone 8b UK   Gardenfiend  My Weather Posted on Sunday, May 30, 2004 - 02:29 pm:    Oh - it's even more beautiful close up. But indeed not very big for its six years. Kath, luckily for me neither of those nurseries ships to Europe - the temptation to order many would be too great. Actually I think there are similar firms in Germany I could order from, but I had hoped to find something at a garden centre. I've found nice ones before, but this year there don't seem to be any.

If you like to wait until next summer I will collect some for you, sorry but have none left from this years production Kath Zone 8b UK   Astrantia  Posted on Monday, September 18, 2006 - 02:39 am:    Hi Fbonsailady, I bought this one in UK, near Bath in 2004 and 1 cutt over 5 or 6 grew ok. http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n185/Astrantiamajor/DSC_4543plasplendide .jpg This year I made 5 and got 5 http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n185/Astrantiamajor/bouturesplendide.jpg Astrantia - Charleroi, Zone "8-9"   Daylily  Posted on Monday, September 18, 2006 - 05:53 am:    What lovely flowers! I wish I could find that here! Daylily - Mi, Zone "5b"   Fbonsailady  My Favorite Photo My Garden Journal My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Friday, September 22, 2006 - 10:18 am:    Well done Astrantia, This particular pelargonium is not the easiest to get cuttings from. I find keeping them on the dry side in the beginning helps to be successful Kath Zone 8b UK   Plantloverjoe  My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Monday, October 23, 2006 - 11:47 am:    lovely and happy.
