woolybanana Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Some advice please.Not having grown geraniums for a few years, I bought some plants from the local supermarket this year. They were the right colour but some sort of double flower which did not hold for more than a minute and the leaves were somewhat darker than traditional geraniums ought to be.If I keep the plants over the winter, upside down, in a dark place will they revert to some, more pleasing, original plant or is it best to dump them? They are healthy.They are probably a hybrid, I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardian Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 WB ...........Can you post a pic, preferably with a flower on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pommier Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 If you don't like them, then torturing them (hanging upside down in a cellar......!) isn't going to make them change their ways. Best thing to do is give them to your neighbour and buy some new plants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 The only thing I would give to my neighbour, if I could do it by shaking his hand and without danger to myself, would be a dose of herpes. I think the new plants route is the way forward.Gardian, do you have an email address so I can ipad some fotos straight to you? If that is ok, send it via a pm or Norman will have it!!

Russethouse Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Are they actually zonal pelargoniums ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Sorry, RH, I didnt see your reply. To be frank, I am very confused as to what they are. Whichever, I will make sure I get the right ones next time round.I have come to the conclusion that I am fussy about my geraniums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
