A compact Australian native pelargonium cultivar with vibrant pink flowers and aromatic, lobed leaves. This delightful cultivar is a cross between Pelargonium australe and Pelargonium rodneyanum, both Australian native varieties, bred by Peter Ollerenshaw of Bywong Nursery. The flowers are much larger than P. australe and are a lovely pastel pink shade, much paler than P. rodneyanum.. The hybrid plant benefits by becoming more hardy and versatile.

It has large pretty leaves also and I have found it does not self seed. It retains the floriferous disposition of P. australe, with a long flowering period, tolerant of a wide range of conditions. The large leaves provide a useful contrast in garden design and contrast beautifully with small leaved Australian natives and strappy or grasslike varieties. In my Sydney garden I have 3 native Pelargoniums planted together in a group and I love the blending of colours, foliage and flower forms. Would also look pretty cascading out of a pot or hanging basket.

Prefers well-drained soils in full sun. Regular watering during dry periods enhances flowering. Deadhead spent blooms to promote continuous flowering. Unbothered by pests and attractive to butterflies, making this a very desirable Australian native plant.
