Please does anyone grow these? I'd like some tips on getting it going and whether I can grow it in a pot. I know it's not hardy. Why have I got one? Well - we went to the annual NGS lunch today and I bought it at a very good price from the plant stall (in a crazy moment!)  |

Thanks, Floydie - I found that site, too - I was hoping that someone might have personal experience with them. I'd like to know if some bottom heat would get it going, for example.

It wouldn't do them any harm Geranium.....I bought a couple last year from Jungle Plants......I've kept them in the conservatory over winter and just recently cut them back. I will look out the instructions they sent me, tomorrow if I remember. Give me a nudge if I forget!! |

Did you start them off with some heat, Rosie? I've been told they may need some.

Yes - I'm delighted! Wouldn't it be lovely if it flowered...but that's a long time ahead.
