Pelargonium violiflorum

Of the Pelargoniums with underground tubers, this is one of the most appealing.
The plants have large  leaves (to 12 x 10 cm), changing from simple (undivided) in young plants to divided in various ways later on.
In September – November they produce more or less flat-topped inflorescences; these consist of 3-6  parts, each with up to 14 white flowers about 1 cm in diameter.

The plants occur in dry scrub and open places from Worcester to Stormsvlei and Bonnievale. Partly because much of the area has been cleared for growing grapes, they are localised and rather rare.
