Pelargonium peltatum, commonly known as Ivy Geranium, is a trailing flowering perennial prized for its cascading growth and colourful blooms. Its flexible stems can trail up to approximately 1.5m, becoming covered with loosely clustered flowers that create a vibrant display.
With its trailing habit, Ivy Geranium is especially well suited to hanging baskets, containers, window boxes and raised garden beds where the stems can cascade freely. It performs best in full sun with moist but well-drained soil and is particularly suited to warm climates. In cooler regions, it is often grown as an annual, while in tropical climates it can be maintained as a tender perennial.
