Pelargonium peltatum ‘Temprano Salmon’ (Ivy Geranium) is a compact, trailing, evergreen perennial with fleshy, deep green, ivy-shaped leaves on long lax stems. Large, double salmon flowers appear from spring through fall. Providing a summer of lush flowering, Ivy Geranium is a great addition to hanging baskets, window boxes, and raised beds where it will cascade gracefully down, creating a waterfall effect.

  • Grows up to 10-12 in. tall (25-30 cm) and 16-20 in. wide (40-50 cm).
  • Performs best in full sun or light shade, in average to organically rich, neutral to slightly alkaline, medium moisture, and well-drained soils. Water regularly during the growing season. Best in full sun, but welcomes some light shade in the hottest climates. It is drought tolerant once established.
  • Great candidate for beds and borders, Mediterranean gardens, containers, hanging baskets, and window boxes. Makes a great ground cover too!
  • Pelargonium peltatum is hardy to USDA 10 – 11 and grown as an annual in the ground in cooler areas.
  • Deadhead spent flowering stems. Pinch stems to encourage bushiness and avoid legginess.
  • Toxic to dogs, toxic to cats, toxic to horses.
  • Native to South Africa
