This species hybrid grows from an underground tuber. It must be planted in gritty free draining compost and kept dry during dormancy otherwise the tuber will rot. Do not overwater at any time.

Unusual pelargonium, the brilliant red flowers are borne on long stalks. It's best to tie them to supports or a frame.
