Growing Pelargoniums and Geraniums: a Complete Guide
Gardening & Environment Education & Reference Science & Nature
Growing Pelargoniums and Geraniums: a Complete Guide by Beryl Stockton and Jason Mason is the go-to reference for turning sunny windowsills and garden beds into bursts of long-lasting color. Written for the intermediate grower, this 1996 Hyland House paperback distills a century of Australian nursery know-how into 103 photo-rich pages that demystify propagation, pruning, pest control, and overwintering.
The authors—respected horticulturists and avid collectors—walk readers through species differences, soil mixes, and watering schedules while flagging the classic mistakes that turn healthy plants into woody stragglers. Their month-by-month calendar keeps geraniums and pelargoniums flowering vigorously in temperate or subtropical zones, whether grown in terracotta pots, hanging baskets, or mixed borders.
Practical botany references, line drawings of leaf shapes, and a glossary of cultivar names make the book a handy shelf companion for hobby gardeners, floral design students, and nursery staff alike. A tidy, tightly bound copy from a smoke-free home, this edition carries a gift inscription on the cover page—perfect for presenting to a green-thumbed friend or adding to your own gardening library.
