Hello marvelous foliage! Pelargonium denticulatum’s ferny textured, evergreen, balsam scented leaves are safe from hungry deer. Blooming early Spring through late Fall with cute little clusters of lavender pink flowers (dead head to keep the show going strong). Native to South Africa’s southwest Cape Province where it’s on the Red List of South African plants 2009 as Rare. The good news is it’s not threatened. This tough shrub grows 1 to 2’ high and 1 to 1’ wide, & makes an excellent container plant. Likes well draining soil with average water. Prefers full sun, but can deal with dappled shade.
