Title: Anyone know this plant?
Post by: caroline7758 on June 13, 2010, 17:53:25
At an NGS open day today I saw a lovely pelargonium with really deep red flowers (it was in a greenhouse). I thought the label said its name was "Ardis" but I've just googled it and can't find anything. Anyone know it?

There is one called 'Ardens' which is pretty dark red.

I really should take a pen and paper with me when I visit gardens- just thought I could have put it in my phone.

I don't use a pen and paper, just take lots of pictures with my phone. I get strange looks in places like B&Q ;D
