    In Bucls I had 50 plus varieties of Geraniums / Pelargonims and I'm so sad I find it very, very difficult to grow / maintain them here .... they DO NOT like intense heat and sunshine.

    I've said this elsehwere but in the garden centers which are mostly outdoors these and Petunias and Begonias and all the things we love in England in the sunshine CANNOT survive in our sun and need shade here.

    I appreciate where the 'wet ' problem may cause a problem .....

    Now, the question is this .... where can these beauties live in this global climate ??????

    Lol - thats most interesting and most surprising. I would have assumed that as Pelargoniums mainly originate from South Africa, they would have loved the your Mediterranean climate.
