The Plant list
PELARGONIUM echinatum White Form
Species Pelargonium. Thick succulent stems covered in the spines. Tall stems of white flowers with vivid red markings on the upper petals, giving the plant its name of ‘The Sweetheart Pelargonium’. Small soft grey green leaves the sit atop the thorny stems. A cool season grower, struggling in extremes of heat but flourishes in the autumn producing masses of lush foliage. This is the ideal time for cuttings. Often flowering in the late autumn and early winter, it also produces blooms throughout the spring. One of Mike’s favourite Pelargoniums
Cortusina group. Introduced by F Masson to Kew in 1789.
The true species P. echinatum is variable in the wild, ranging from pink to purple. Sometimes the first blooms of this white form have a washed out pink appearance, however subsequent blooms are usually true white.
