About this Plant
Pelargonium ‘Sidoides’ is a distinctive evergreen perennial prized for its dramatic, nearly black reddish-purple flowers and soft gray foliage. Native to southern Africa, this compact pelargonium forms a dense, low mound with rounded leaves and gently wavy margins.
Blooming from spring through fall, its dark flowers rise just above the foliage and attract hummingbirds, adding bold contrast to borders, rock gardens, and containers. This variety is naturally deer resistant and well suited to sunny, well-drained locations.
With a tidy growth habit and long bloom season, Pelargonium ‘Sidoides’ is an excellent choice for gardeners looking for a unique, low-maintenance flowering plant with rich color and texture.
Evergreen in mild climates; may go dormant if temperatures drop below 25°F.
