Even after all of tese years I continue to be amazed at how tough
zonal pelargoniums can be. I don't keep many, but a pot of 'Doris
Moore' that was a cutting from Bob Hobden has just successfully gone
through its second winter outside here undaunted and damage free.
Admittedly it was against a wall, but we had a -6C last winter
(2010/2011) and a couple of -3Cs in early Feb this year. If last year
is anything to go by it will be a mass of flower within a few weeks
and continue well into early winter. It is a tall variety that needs
regular pinching to keep it looking tidy, but I'm very tempted to let
it run this time and train it as a 'climber' against the wall.
