The 'Senetti' Pericallis is an "improvement" on the Cineraria that used to be available in greater numbers in the past - while they're more resistant to the dreaded leaf-miner, they runty and available in fewer (albeit flashier) colors than the older varieties. I put a few in my garden this year but I can't say I'm satisfied with them. The Pelargoniums, on the other hand, are a mainstay for me - in addition to being fragrant, they're long-blooming and work well as fillers. In California, they bloom off and on all year.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-6698013031947325332013-03-17T12:40:47.870-05:002013-03-17T12:40:47.870-05:00Well you know how I feel about the not hardy in yo...Well you know how I feel about the not hardy in your area plants, just wrong!

As I aimed my camera at the big screen where the plant photos were being projected (? not sure "projected" is the right word any more...) I could watch the color pulsate back and forth between a reddish, greenish and bluish tint. It was bizarre, I also managed to capture the different colors.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-8769807365600511782013-03-16T23:44:27.788-05:002013-03-16T23:44:27.788-05:00Senetti, yuck!

Better on the second kind, but I'm not buying the geranium name.Sylvannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928028663255268616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-17249274675446026592013-03-16T16:20:17.024-05:002013-03-16T16:20:17.024-05:00I've seen those daisies before, years ago.

I like the look of that lemon geranium you show, too. Established Senetti can withstand temps lower than 30º here but they're too high maintenance for me. In our limey soil, they require lots of fertilizer and regular iron amendment. sandy lawrencenoreply@blogger.com
