Geranium - Pelargonium sidoides

The Cape geranium (Pelargonium sidoides), known locally as "umckaloabo," is a native geranium species from South Africa. It grows wild among tall grasses and aromatic flower beds on the slopes of the Cape coast and in the grasslands of Lesotho.

The Cape geranium has soft, velvety gray-green leaves and deep magenta flowers. The plant's rhizomes turn dark red when dried and ground.

Pelargonium sidoides belongs to the Geraniaceae family. Originally, the Pelargoniums brought to Europe closely resembled common garden geraniums, but botanically, there appears to be a clear difference between this South African species and the geraniums grown in gardens. In the wild, the plant occurs only in a few small areas of South Africa, but today it is also cultivated on plantations.

Historically and culturally, the Cape geranium is well-known within traditional South African botanical lore. Today the plant is valued for its botanical properties and its role in the culture and heritage of the region.
