PELARGONIUM SPECIES HYBRID - prices as marked.
These are not species but are hybrids of two different species, or a species and a zonal, etc. some of these plants are also difficult to grow and require diligent attention paid to their cultural requirements. I've again listed them either 'Beginner', 'Intermediate' or 'Experienced' according to their ease/difficulty to grow.
