‘Ardens’ is an old cultivar, a cross between P. fulgidum and P. lobatum, introduced in 1817. It was hybridized by Lee, Hammersmith UK, 1810.
Another old hybrid of P. lobatum from ca. 1827.
The third old hybrid that is believed to have P. fulgidum and P. lobatum as parents – before 1869.
My own grown variety from 2011 – a seedling of P. gibbosum ‘Maroon’.
My own hybrid from 2016 – ‘Flora Midnight’ x ‘Lara Oracle’.
A hybrid that originates from seeds from South Africa, around 2006.
Hybrid of ‘Flora Midnight’ x ‘Lara Oracle’.
Raised by Edgar, 2016 (pollination earlier). Flowered for the first time in 2020.
Stem succulent. Nightscented flowers.


Section Cortusina.
Species / variety of P. crassicaule with brown red-ish stems. Grown from seed.



Section Glaucophyllum.
Easily recognized by the upright lanceolate leaves.

Section Reniformia.
Small plant with woody stems, and sticky scented leaves.

Cultivated form of the species with finely divided leaves. The upper petals of this cultivar are also divided.
The leaves are sticky and have some scent.
P. denticulatum belongs to the section Pelargonium.

Hybrid of P. bowkeri x P. fulgidum – Eva Tingström, ERA Garden, Sweden.



This plant is a seedling from ‘Flora Midnight’.
Whilst ‘Flora Midnight’ has very dark flowers, the flowers of this plant became very pale.
Perhaps because it has P. anethifolium back in its ancestors.


The buds have a purplish tone, and then the petals fade to an off-white colour as they age.


Species in the section Glaucophyllum.
Got this as P. grandiflorum, but this is probably a hybrid and not the true species.
