I grow since many years one pot with P.tetragonum .....it looks never very well ....

In last fall a friend of mine told me that these plants are wintergrowing  :o
I follow his advices and put this plant in winter in my greenhouse and I gave it all 2 weeks a little water ...and it grows and grows .....before some weeks I could see that comes a lot of buds ( more than ever ) and now are lot of flowers open  ;D ;D ;D

Pelargonium tetragonum

Thanks Hans. If your plant produces some seeds can I beg a couple?
