Plant Summary

Pelargonium quercifolium, known as the oak-leaf pelargonium, is a shrubby, evergreen pelargonium with oak-like leaves and pinkish purple flowers. It is native to the karoo regions of South Africa, where it grows in rocky habitats. It has a balm-like scent and is used in traditional medicine for rheumatism, hypertension and heart disease. It also produces essential oils that have a laudanum fragrance and can repel insects. It is an easy-to-grow plant that can be propagated by seeds or cuttings. It prefers a well-drained soil and a sunny position. It is ideal for small gardens or containers, where it can add colour and aroma throughout the year.
