Mary Spink - Dwarf Gold leaf zonal pelargonium |
This dwarf double zonal pelargonium with light gold foliage
and beautiful ball shaped salmon coloured flowers, is named for Mary
Spink. Raised by Roberts c.1977
Mary is a well known nursery woman (now retired) and author of “The
Potted Guide to Pelargoniums”. This is a
really informative booklet and well worth getting hold of if you can. There is a wealth of information inside on
growing all varieties of the pelargonium family, from Miniatures to
Species. There are sections on taking
cuttings, hygiene, pests and disease and caring for your plants over
winter. There is also an excellent chapter on how to grow a standard pelargonium. My own book is now very well
used and I never tire of reading it. Mary also drew all the illustrations in her book– a talented lady
indeed!
