My Hanging Pelargonium GardenSpain looks so beautiful this time of year, the birds are singing and the hills are lined with wild flowers. Flowers are everywhere in fields on patios and in peoples gardens. I can’t get over how beautiful the Pelargoniums look. Their vivid hues splash colour against the white crisp walls and look amazing.

Most of the houses are painted white and have pretty scalloped terracotta roof tiles that accentuate it’s rustic beauty. I love the rustic feel of these homes they have loads of character and they make the perfect backdrop to hang planters on the wall.

I have a blank white wall as you enter my home and it looks so bare. I wanted my entrance to look inviting by adding a bit of colour and greenery to the wall.

Whether you’re renting or you’ve bought a home you need to make it your own, so I hopped in the car and headed straight for the nursery.

I am such a mad women when it comes to plants and nurseries, I almost leapt out the car like a possessed women at the Sales. All excited and eager to shop I headed straight for the pots. I wanted glazed pots because in Summer the temperature can reach well into the 40’s (Celsius).

Tip: Glazed pots have been sealed and retain more water which reduces the evaporation rate and frequent watering.

Looking through the aisles I noticed there were a lot pots they were either to small, butt ugly or unglazed. I had the last two aisles to search when I spotted red delicious glazed pots. They were perfect and they were all mine. Making sure they had no chips or cracks in them I chose 2 small pots and medium size pot as the feature. With the pots loaded up I was off to the other side of the store to buy the greenery.

I couldn’t believe my eyes the Pelargoniums were flowering, looked healthy, and I had a vast range to choose from. They had a mixture of medium and advanced plants in standard and trailing varieties. I decided on a soft pink standard a white trailing variety because my pots were so vivid.

You’re probably wondering why I bought three pots and only two plants, heh? O.K I will let you in on my little secret I have been growing a few cuttings and one of my Pelargoniums is big enough to transplant. I love this stage of gardening when you can pot them up into beautiful containers.

With my goodies in the shopping cart I headed straight for the checkout. When I got home I gave them water and sat out on the patio with a lovely coffee under the umbrella. The next morning I planted them out and my free plant looks sensational in its new pot. I am really happy with my feature wall and with time the white Pelargoniums should cascade down the wall.
