Nursery contributed plant descriptions

One of the best and brightest of the fancy leaved Pelargoniums, this grows into the typical pot geranium that Gramma loved but with a punk twist -- screaming yellow leaves and cerise flowers. Ours lived through most winters, but, in areas below USDA zone 9, cuttings should be taken annually and dried or rooted in sand for the next year. Plants may also be lifted and stored in a cool place -- with those forgotten potatoes. Excellent container addition, if just for the shock value alone.
