The Velvet Groundsel or Californian Geranium is a large sprawling evergreen shrub that can grow to 3m, especially in drier conditions. Will produce bright yellow daisy-like flowers in late winter early spring.

Cultural

Grow in full sun to part shade in a wide range of soil types. Plant in a sheltered area to protect large leaves from strong winds. Once established it is quite a vigorous grower and requires minimal watering. Cut back hard after flowering. Will tolerate light frost.

Landscape Uses

With its large, velvety leaves and overall size it makes an excellent filler shrub. Ideal for mass planting, they can be used to create an informal screen or border. Its sculptural leaves create a tropical look without a high watering requirement.
