Ivy-Leaved

The Pelargonium peltatum, also known as ivy-leaved, is an edible flower that belongs to the family of geraniums. This species is different from the common geraniums in that they are smaller and the petals are longer. The plant of this flower is perennial.

Its colours are striking: pink, red, white… This flower is well known in Andalusia (Spain) for inundating the Andalusian courtyards, making them a symbol of Spanish cultural heritage.
