notes
A low growing variety of pelargonium, P. australe Tasmanian Form bears very dark green leaves which have a red reverse. Sprays of tiny white flowers are held on long red stems, which attract pollinators. This species pelargonium is common in Australia, as well as New Zealand, so it’s not very tolerant of our damp winters. Each plant arrives planted in a terracotta 14cm (6in) pot.
