A collection of Pelargoniums (indoor geraniums), ranging from the colourful hybrids used as summer bedding plants through to the wild species from which they all originated from South Africa and Australia. This glasshouse preserves something of the atmosphere of a Victorian conservatory or orangery. It has a minimum winter night temperature of 10c, similar to the Mediterranean.
