I always enjoy your videos!
Hi. I just found your channel and am slowly going through all your videos. Thank you very much for giving us such valuable info. I live in the US and am finding it difficult to impossible to purchase any unique breeds that are available in Europe and Australia. I have searched suppliers but so far nothing. Can you help in this area?
Sorry, not really. The only supplier of pelargoniums that I know of in the US is based in Marin county, CA, she's an Aussie ex pat. Her website is geraniaceae.com.
Greetings from Australia. I have only discovered your amazing channel today. You are certainly an expert. I will have to watch all your videos as I am still confused about which are geraniums and which are pelargoniums. Then we have hardy geraniums too. I found myself growing more and more pelargoniums and geraniums over the past few years, but they are hard to find unless you know someone who would give you a cutting. I finally found a few seedlings at Bunnings, our largest hardware store here, in their gardening section. The seem to becoming popular in England (where I was born) and in the US. Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us, your viewers. I truly appreciate it all!
@@MarigoldsintheGarden Thanks very much. Basically the hardy’s are geraniums, everything else is a pelargonium. The confusion arises from the zonal pelargonium group being marketed as geraniums when they are not. Have a look at ‘Geranium Man’ on Facebook, (yes, I know it’s technically the wrong name) he’s an Aussie over your side with a pelargonium nursery.
can you recommend a source of regal pelargoniums in the US? from. Northern CA.
@@peggieincolfaxca3818 There is a Californian based nursery geraniaceae.com which is run by an ex pat Australian lady. Not sure if they do Regals. There are a number of southern Californian clubs that specialise in Pelargoniums that you should look up. Cynthia Pardoe runs the San Diego club and she is a Regal specialist.

Hello, David, please could we have an update on how your plants are growing in the peat free mix compost!
@@edita_uk676 They faired okay but I think I said in one of my recent videos that I went over to putting more drainage material in the mix like perlite as the compost seems to appear to be dry but was actually wet at the bottom of the pot. This seems to be an issue for most growers but more drainage does help greatly. However, things have changed a bit as the legislation that was to ban its retail sale and eventual professional sale never got heard in parliament and with a new government they’ve probably got higher priorities. So for the time being there is still a choice and I am aware of many growers that are going back to peat based.
@@thepagsociety Thank you, David, it's good to know- I wasn't aware of the latest developments in legislation. 👍
Are the Rose Geraniums identified as Pelargonium capitatum x radens considered a "unique"? Where can I purchase Pelargonium capitatum x radens seeds?
@@ritchiemacinnis5680 I’m assuming you mean p. Graveolens which is classed as a Scented leaf variety and not a Unique. I’m afraid I don’t know anyone that may sell these. Obviously p.Graveolens can be propagated by cuttings but I guess for ease of transport you’re looking for seeds.
Thank you for the video ❤
Always a pleasure to watch your videos and I always pick up a tidbit of knowledge.
Great video, as always, thank you David 👍🌸🌸🌸
Hi David 👋 I need to pick your brain a bit today x I have 12 baskets on posts with red geraniums and lobelia x I wanted them in flower for June 22nd but was not a single flower in sight 🤦🏻♀️when should the last tidy up have been before they were left alone to get going so I know for next year x Thank you David 🙏🏻 Kim x
Hi Kimmy, Have to say that I can't remember where you are, are you in the UK, if so you have little hope of getting a basket to be in full flower by then even in a normal spring, let alone the one we had this year. You would need to be potting them up by late March and keeping them in a greenhouse to enable this to happen and also not cutting them back in an any way (just pack them in). My basket is reaching its peak now - in late July, which is quite normal. Joy Stock, one of our top basket growers (see the show video) keeps them in the basket all year around and in the greenhouse until the show day. D
@@thepagsociety so kind of you to reply “Thank you” I live In Derbyshire 🇬🇧 and it really was a bad start weather wise this year….At least I can do something with the information you have give me David 🙏🏻 many thanks for that Much appreciated Kim x
Wow, I enjoyed seeing all those beauties. Thanks
Hi David, can you cut into the woody stems to shape and take cuttings from scented and unique pelles ?
@@FrancesHirons Yes you can cut down very hard if you want to, Regals and scenteds can re- break from quite hard wood. I’m just being a bit cautious with my show plants this year due to a lack of growth density in the spring due to poor light over the last couple of years. However moving will alter the situation somewhat. You cannot use hard wood for cuttings although what we call semi-ripe is okay and can produce better plants. D

So enjoy your videos…always learn something…thanks
Hi, such an informative post, really helpful, thank you. I was under the impression one doesn’t use rooting powder with any type of Pelly cutting, now I know better should I treat cuttings of Frank Headley as zonal, eg no rooting powder?
@@charlieuliginosa2494 Yes absolutely, it’s a bi-coloured zonal.
Is it possible to propagate scented Pelargoniums by leaf cuttings? I’ve heard of it with P. odoratissimum but with no instructions.
@@janecurtis5726 Hi Jane, It may be possible but it’s something I’ve never tried mainly because I don’t generally grown species pelargonium. It is part of the Reniforme group which have basal root blocks almost like corms which would perhaps explain why a cutting or leaf split from the base would root but as I say I don’t get involved with these types. D
Как называется последняя пеларгония?

@@thepagsociety thank you so much!❤
Do you sell baby pelargonium?
@@singhinderjitsingh Sorry, no.
Awwwww, how exciting 😊 Can’t wait to see your new glass house David, happy days to you and Mrs T 💋
You left more foliage on the heel cuttings than I thought was good for rooting. I’ve always just left the terminal growth with two additional leaves. Good to know that is not always true.
@@janecurtis5726 Yes it depends on the cutting Jane. These already effectively had roots developing so would be fine. Ordinary cuttings would need much less leaf growth to lessen the stress as you describe.
Sir I am from India and seriously need your guidance and help can you please reply me sir
@@yellowjacket1709 Go on then. D
@@thepagsocietythank you for the reply
Most of my cutting doesn't survive
Sir
Hello sir
Bring some of those English varieties to USA, PLEASE!
I wish I could 😢
Thanks a million 🍀
Can I grow pelargonium capitatum x radens from seeds ?
Excellent tips , I'm a neophyte I appreciate and thank you for the thorough talk on fertilizing pelargoniums.
I wish I could find a Ray Bidwell anywhere, it seems impossible to find now sadly.
Hi David, Thank you so much for taking the time to both video and then add the commentary for the show. I'm aware that you have said that some plants have more chance of winning on the show bench than others. If there are people who wish to get into showing pelargoniums, please could you maybe do a video suggesting one or two different show worthy cultivars of pelargonium, that folk might have success with. Also which classes these varieties are suitable for and lastly, where people can get hold of them? Thank you.
@@patrickgallagher3513 It’s an interesting point Patrick but I have to consider the information that I give out (which is vast) in relation to that we supply by being an actual member of PAGS where we supply an annual list of the show winning cultivars in the Yearbook. The start of your second paragraph highlights though the major problem in that there simply are no people wishing to get into showing which, being blunt, will ultimately make holding shows unviable.
@@thepagsociety Eh David, it’s a pity that Russian breeders cannot show their varieties. How many rosebuds and hybrids of zonal pelargonium have been bred! The flowers are large, double inflorescences form into balls and umbrellas. And the colors are sheer splendor. The Korean selection is also excellent
@@Tenia_B. Not sure what you are getting at here. We have those in the UK but many are more suited to larger pot sizes which would not be feasible to get to shows.
@@thepagsociety You probably misunderstood. Briefly: about the participation of breeders from other countries in your exhibitions. Maybe your exhibitions do not involve the participation of foreign breeders? Then I will delete the comment so as not to be misleading. I communicate with you through Google Translator, because I don’t know English. My respects, Mr Pelargonium
@@Tenia_B. Okay that’s fine but obviously it is not at all practical for overseas growers to attend.
Thanks for the video and some good plants on show. I realise your concerned with the length of the video however as you mentioned some of the novices blooms were really good and it’s a pity you didn’t give the newer guys some mention on that section , comments from yourself and being mentioned by name would spur then on and we could also look out for them in future years. It’s only a suggestion and hopefully you take it that way.
It's a good point Brian. However all of the exhibitors who staged in the Novice and Intermediate sections also had placed plants in the Open section so they had plants that were highlighted elsewhere in the video. I do wish I could say that we had new growers that were entering the Novice and Intermediate sections but unfortunately we don't and realistically the 'future' with regard to shows does not look good. D
Well done they look beautiful 😀🌼🌼
Fantastic!!! Thank you SO much!! ❤❤❤
Thank you David. So many beautiful plants and so much work put in all year. Congratulations David and all the others. Bless you.
Thank you for posting. Looking forward to your next video
Wow ! Beautiful ❤
Many thanks for the reply I had assumed that is what you did from all of the video,s over the months, look forward to now to the coming months have about 14 plants, regal,s , angels, mini and trailing, trial and error for my first year.
@@DerekHardcastle-k1d Best of luck. Please don’t be afraid to ask questions following the release of videos.
Fantastic job everyone!! Well done! Such beautiful specimens and what a riot of color! Thanks, David, for this video. I recognized names of plants that I have grown which is exciting. Congratulations on your wins, David!
Amazing🎉
New to pelargoniums this year, bought heater and thermo2 controller for greenhouse, with regard to bubble wrapping do you also wrap the roof as well as the sides? I intend to leave the side wall up in the summer. is also there a preference between 10mm and 20mm and fitting to the glass. Derek
Hi Derek, glad to see your enthusiasm for winter controls for your greenhouse. I personally do not use bubble wrap on the roof as I need as much light as possible to get through. I also have many windows on my greenhouse which are constantly opened / closed even in the winter so it would be too much faff to cut them out of the wrap. I leave the side wraps on constantly which you may be able to see in the videos. I presume you mean bubble size, the larger tends to be more robust both for fitting with the plastic clips to the greenhouse and for aging. Hope this helps. D
Beautiful plants. When will there be a video of the show please?
@@desireedefonseka4912 Yes it will be some when this week, apologies I’ve just been very busy since the show.
@@thepagsociety thank you & looking forward to seeing it.
I've been trying to crack the code of getting a zonartic plant or seeds over to the US for a year. I don't think there's a single plant in this country.
Yes maybe not. You can’t import live plant material from Europe and for seeds many of them come through with too much zonal in them making them zonals rather than Zonartic.
@@thepagsociety I think I've seen Facebook posts of people germinating the Zonartic seeds and getting zonals. If one could get some of the double flowers with the (Zonartic) color combinations on the seedlings, I wouldn't care if they were mostly zonal. I don't think anyone on this side of the planet has a yellow pelargonium.
Hello! Какие это сорта?
Excited to see the show video!! 🎉
Love it!!!
So beautiful, they loved the pot
Gorgeous!
Very pretty 😀🌼🌸
My pelargonium did not bloom what should I do
