In the garden
Pelargonium 'Warrenorth Thulite' sits in the Geraniaceae family as a shrub pelargonium with a compact, well-branched form and trailing stems. Its evergreen, aromatic leaves give the plant year-round presence, while flowering runs from June to October, providing an extended summer display. Grow it in full sun on a south-facing, sheltered aspect where it receives the most warmth. A loam-based, neutral soil that is well drained suits this cultivar; avoid heavy, waterlogged ground. The hardiness rating H2 denotes a half-hardy plant, so expect to protect it from prolonged frosts or place it where winter temperatures are kept above freezing. Use Pelargonium 'Warrenorth Thulite' in borders, containers or hanging baskets to show off the trailing habit and aromatic foliage. In containers, choose a free-draining loam compost and a spot that faces south and is sheltered from cold northerly winds, so the foliage stays evergreen and flowering extends through October.
