Geranium palmatum 'Maderense' ??

Paul B3Paul B3 Posts: 3,154

I acquired a couple of the above last week from a client who had grown them herself from seed .

Only borderline hardiness apparently so am storing in the greenhouse until more suitable weather arrives .

Does anyone know if Geranium palmatum and G.maderense are two distinct species ; or is 'Maderense' just a subspecies/form of G.palmatum ?

Your answers will be most welcome and helpful ! Thanks .

    2 different species

    G maderense is bigger, much more impressive but not hardy.

    G. palmatum very often survives for several years here. 



    In the sticks near Peterborough

    Thanks for your response ; has clarified it for me . She's had hers outdoors for a couple of winters now , so presume it's G. palmatum , thanks again .
