| Mary Spink - Dwarf Gold leaf zonal pelargonium |
This dwarf double zonal pelargonium with light gold foliage and beautiful ball shaped salmon coloured flowers, is named for Mary Spink. Raised by Roberts c.1977
Mary is a well known nursery woman (now retired) and author of “The Potted Guide to Pelargoniums”. This is a really informative booklet and well worth getting hold of if you can. There is a wealth of information inside on growing all varieties of the pelargonium family, from Miniatures to Species. There are sections on taking cuttings, hygiene, pests and disease and caring for your plants over winter. There is also an excellent chapter on how to grow a standard pelargonium. My own book is now very well used and I never tire of reading it. Mary also drew all the illustrations in her book– a talented lady indeed!
