Section Campylia

Pelargonium species native to south-western Cape Province, SA.

P. tricolor has narrow leaves. The smaller ones to the left are from the flower branches, and the ones to the right are from the main branches.

P. tricolor builds new branches from the root – something that I’ve never experienced its hybrids do.

I find P. tricolor easy to grow outside or in the greenhouse in summer, but a little more tricky to get it through winter inside under artificial light.
