Pelargonium laxum
A South African Pelargonium recorded across the Little Karoo and the southern and Eastern Cape. It comes from a sunny, fairly dry climate with rain spread through the year, so it wants strong light, a free-draining mix and careful watering, especially in cool weather.
Where it grows wild
Probably grows in karroid scrub and thicket on rocky slopes, often in the partial shelter of shrubs; there are no species-specific habitat notes, so this follows the regional vegetation.
Few records give an elevation; the climate sites run from near sea level to about 1,050 m.
