Default Aldi Geraniums

Aldi have packs of 4 geraniums for £1.79 from today

I also got lucky and seemed my local one had some plants left from last week and got a honeysuckle for 99p too! very happy!! (except I don't actually have a garden... think the neighbours would mind it in the stair? well its only little just now anyway!)

Were they the hardy geraniums Merlin? I'm looking for some for my garden but haven't been able to get any as it's too early and they are not ready. Have you got any pics?

Those are the Pelargonium type of geranium They can be grown as house plants so will be fine on your windowsill, they also don't mind being left to go dry so you don't have to worry if you forget to water them. They can be fed in moderation to your torts.

I've never tried feeding them to my torts as they have a strong smell and thought they may not like them, I'll have to give them a go.
