geranium wallichianum J. Archibald collected
« on: October 04, 2014, 08:47:10 AM »
Where can I find seeds(or buy a plant) of G.wallichianum of the form collected by J.Archibald in Garhwal Himalaya N.India.

If my informations are right ,it was offered on the 95 seedlist.
I would like to use it in my crossings.

Hi,
I wish I'd seen this post earlier. I have the G. wallichianum  Archibald collected form in my garden, but the plants are already dormant , and cut down. next year?

How different is it?

Unfortunately the camera doesn't see the variation that the eye can see

Thank you Rick

Mark
I'd like to grow that form because it is said to be the most vigorous form of G.wallichianum

If you could see the variety and vigour of self sown seedlings in my garden you'd be amazed
