Pelargonium trifidum
Pelargonium trifidum is a large attractive tender pelargonium with cream to white flowers with maroon markings. It is an aromatic sprawling shrublet with several scrambling branches.
Planting Outdoors Spring
From Late Spring TO Early Summer
Plant out pelargoniums from late Spring onwards in bedding schemes, setting them in ordinary well-drained garden soil and in full sun.
Propagation by cuttings
From Mid Summer TO Late Summer
Take 3 inch long tip cuttings in mid-Summer for standards, in late Summer for large bush types. Smaller plants can be obtained from cuttings taken from the over-wintered plants in early spring. Insert individually into 2.5 inch pots of peat and sand (equal parts) or seed compost. Leave on a greenhouse bench covered with paper for 7 - 10 days. When rooted, pot on as necessary.
