Summer planting
Contrary to popular opinion, summer planting is fine as long as adequate water is provided throughout any prolonged dry periods. This allows you to take advantage of increased summer growth.
Pelargonium inodorum
Height: 0.5m;  Spread: 0.7m
Herb
An attractive plant for foliage but the pink flowers are insignificant. A good plant for coastal planting or for filling in gaps in the garden.
