| Positive | BayAreaTropics | On Feb 15, 2009, BayAreaTropics from Hayward, CA wrote: Easy to grow,hardy, and does reseed..where you want it ,leave them. It does need summer water,more than you might think-no danger it would naturalize. After bloom,like many heavy bloomers,it gets a bit ratty. Prune back or remove and wait for fresh seedlings to replace. | | Neutral | smiln32 | On May 9, 2004, smiln32 from Oklahoma City, OK (Zone 7a) wrote: This giant geranium from the island of Madeira is technically a biennial. The foliage is so nice that it easy to be patient for the blooms. When in flower in mid spring the plant can reach to 5 feet tall; its massive many branched inflorescence of mauve pink flowers rise above the foliage. | | Neutral | eje | On Nov 24, 2003, eje from San Francisco, CA (Zone 10a) wrote: Covered with tall cheery sprays of pink-ish flowers in spring. Flowers sporadically the rest of the year. The bumble bees just love it. However, the seeds go everywhere, and every one seems to sprout. The seedlings are easy to identify, and not particularly deeply rooted; but, be aware, if you don't dead head, you're going to have a lot of volunteers. I've seen it referred to as a biennial; but, it is definitely a perennial for me. |
