In my opinion, it's hard to dislike pelargoniums (commonly referred to as geraniums). With their clusters of brightly-colored blooms and fuzzy foliage, they are a fabulous choice for pots, both indoors and out. And while these cheery plants are often associated with the sunny climes of the Med, their popularity has recently surged in Scandinavia.
They are so well-loved in these cooler climes that a container gardening trend has forged around them, known as pelargonsjuka. As Dr. Susanne Lux of Pelargonium for Europe explains, the word pelargonsjuka translates to 'pelargonic disease', which jokingly refers to an obsession with these beauties.
