Pelargonium crispum

How to grow Pelargonium crispum in NZ

Pelargonium crispum grows best in a sunny position with well drained soil. Choose a warm sheltered spot that receives plenty of light to encourage healthy growth. It performs well in garden beds and containers with free draining potting mix. Improve soil with compost before planting. Water regularly while establishing and allow the soil to dry slightly between watering once plants are settled.

Pelargonium crispum care tips

Pelargonium crispum is easy to care for and benefits from light trimming to maintain a compact shape. Water during dry periods but avoid over watering as the plant prefers drier conditions. Removing any leggy growth will encourage a fuller plant. Apply mulch lightly to retain moisture while keeping it clear of the base. A light feed in spring supports healthy foliage.

Pelargonium crispum size, spacing, and growth rate

Pelargonium crispum typically grows to around 60 to 80 cm tall and spreads about 60 cm wide. Growth is moderate and plants develop into compact shrubs with fine foliage. When planting several plants allow about 50 to 60 cm between them so they have room to develop fully and maintain good airflow. With warmth and sunlight plants establish quickly.

Landscaping uses for Pelargonium crispum

Pelargonium crispum is ideal for herb gardens, borders, and container planting. The fragrant foliage adds sensory appeal and works well near paths or outdoor living areas. It combines well with other herbs and flowering plants in cottage style gardens. In New Zealand landscapes it is often used for both ornamental and practical purposes due to its scent and tidy form.
