"BRIAN WEST" - BI-COLOURED MINIATURE STELLAR PELARGONIUM


"Brian West"

The Miniature stellar pelargonium "Brian West" is, sadly, not now readily available.   The flowers are fully double, and a  beautiful shade of pink with white centre.  The leaves are bright green edged in clear cream.   Raised by Andrew Simmons, I’m not sure when it was introduced, but it is in Sulman’s 2009 catalogue.

This has gone onto my Wish List.  I had it several years ago and cannot think why I did not replace it sooner.    I am hoping Fibrex Nursery has it still.

Here is the South East of the UK we have fared far far better than our friends in the north of the country and Scotland.   However, it is not great here.   We have had a lot of rain, and the weather has definitely turned very much colder, although no frosts.  It is just so soggy and muddy and wet underfoot.    Certainly not gardening weather.    I hope the weather improves soon.  I am itching to get on with sorting out the greenhouses and plants.    One spark of brightness, I noticed that the coloured leaf pelargoniums are beginning to colour-up – oh! I do love the coloured leaf pelargoniums in Spring and Autumn when the lower light levels suit them so.
