Pelargonium aridum |
 |
| | The first flower on a late-May seedling is hardly enthralling |
Frost-tender semi-succulent tufted plant with finely divided leaves and pale-yellow or creamy white flowers arranged in groups of up to five. It is winter-deciduous at the colder end of its range, returning from a red tuberous root, but prefers to grow in winter in its native South Africa, resting in summer. Probably better grown as a potted specimen than in the ground, as it prefers a very light, well-drained medium, with moisture only in winter, and is damaged by freezing (or even slightly above-freezing) temperatures.
