Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An evergreen mounding biennial. Five lobed, bright green leaves are held on long fleshy stems, which radiate from a central trunk, to form a large dense mound. Throughout summer masses of bright purple-pink, saucer shaped flowers are produced in large branching heads. A spectacular, imposing plant. Flowers in the second year, then dies. So collect seed.

“Is this Geranium from another planet?” you might ask when first encountering this extraordi nary giant from the Canary Islands - land of all plants weird & wonderful. Unbelievably focal pointy & super-duper easy to grow, it’s crowned from April to mid-Summer with a massive ball of pink flowers to 4’ across! Blooms in year two but you won’t mind at all since its large, ferny, tropicalesque leaves are a stunning garden focal point all on their own. Self-sows reliably for freebie handouts to lucky friends. Rich, well drained soil. To 4’ x 4’.
