Succulent and Geophyte Pelargoniums
Supplied in 12 cm diameter pots
Some Pelargonium varieties thrive in extremely arid environments. These are the Succulent and Geophytic Pelargoniums: fascinating specimens that have evolved unique structures to store moisture, offering sculptural forms and extraordinary drought resistance.
Survival strategies: discovering Succulent and Geophytic Pelargoniums.
It is a little-known fact that many Pelargonium species in the wild inhabit desert or semi-desert environments. To adapt to such extreme conditions, they have developed specialised tissues or underground storage organs that allow them to flourish where other plants would perish.
Succulent (or semi-succulent) varieties use their stems or leaves as water reservoirs, creating striking architectural silhouettes. Geophytes, on the other hand, develop primarily underground, revealing their leaves and flowers only when environmental conditions are favourable.
Choosing these species means enriching your collection with plants that have low water requirements, perfectly showcasing the incredible adaptability of the Pelargonium genus.
