Description
The Pelargonium pseudoglutinosum is an attractive and rare botanical species in cultivation. It forms a beautiful evergreen shrub with leaves that are fragrant with resinous and balsamic notes. Its oval leaves, with deeply lobed edges, are almost glabrous and sticky. They have dark purple veins. It tends to flower throughout the year, without a specific period. Its flowers occur in pairs or are solitary. They are pink with dark pink spots and small purple markings on the upper petals. This pelargonium grows in well-drained and moist soils.
The Pelargonium pseudoglutinosum is a perennial shrub belonging to the geranium family. In its native habitat, it has a distribution area limited to the southern Cape in South Africa. It grows in moist ravines on well-drained soils, with winter frost and high temperatures in summer. Its bushy habit is supported by hairy stems, which lignify over time, allowing the plant to reach 1 m (3ft) in all directions in its original conditions. Its foliage consists of deeply lobed oval leaves, veined with purple. They are slightly sticky and almost glabrous. They emit a balsamic fragrance. Flowering occurs whenever it pleases, without a specific period. Its flowers are perhaps less spectacular than those of classic hybrids, whether perennial or annual, but more authentic. The petals are thin and the upper two petals are marked with garnet. This pelargonium may tolerate frost better than others, and is sometimes reported to withstand frosts down to -12° C. Given its rarity in cultivation in our climates, this remains to be verified!
Cultivate Pelargonium pseudoglutinosum in fairly moist soil. So plant it, in a pot indoors or in the ground, in a location where you can touch it to enjoy its resinous fragrance, along a path or in a pot on the terrace or veranda. In mild and humid climates, the plant will grow larger, forming a beautiful bush that requires very little maintenance. In the garden, in a naturalistic setting, combine it with single Daylilies, Andropogon grasses, and Echinaceas.

Planting and care
Plant your geraniums in open ground after the last frosts, in a sunny position. You can also plant them in a pot placed in a sheltered location, which you will bring out in May. If you install them in open ground, wait until the frosts have passed. Then, Pelargonium pseudoglutinosum is apparently quite frost-resistant, once established and under good growing conditions: moist and well-drained soil. In a pot, regular watering is necessary in spring and summer.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
