Scientific Name
Pelargonium cucullatum (L.) L’Hér.
Common Names
Wilde Malva, Hooded-Leaf Pelargonium, Tree Pelargonium
Synonyms
Pelargonium angulosum, Pelargonium cucullatum subsp. cucullatum
Scientific Classification
Family: Geraniaceae
Genus: Pelargonium
Flower
Color: Purple or pink
Bloom Time: Summer
Description
Pelargonium cucullatum is a fast-growing, fairly tall, sprawling shrub, up to 6.6 feet (2 m) tall. The leaves are up to 3.1 inches (8 cm) wide, grow upwards, forming circular bowls with jagged, red-tipped edges. The flowers are faintly scented, purple or pink and appear for several months over the summer.
How to Grow and Care
Work organic compost into high-quality container potting soil that contains ingredients such as peat moss, vermiculite and perlite. Use this compost/soil mixture to fill pots for your Pelargoniums. Good drainage is essential to Pelargoniums so choose containers with adequate drainage holes. If your Pelargoniums are already in pots, spread organic compost lightly on the soil surface and work in, taking care not to dig up the plant’s roots.
Choose locations getting direct sun for most Pelargoniums. They need at least six hours of sun daily. Martha Washington and Regal types prefer a site that is shady in the afternoon. All Pelargoniums need afternoon shade if your area regularly sees summer temperatures exceeding 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 degrees Celsius).
Feed your Pelargoniums every two weeks with a balanced fertilizer like 10-10-10 or 20-20-20. Buy fertilizer that dissolves in water for easier application. Every third watering, add Epsom salts — magnesium sulfate — to the plant water — 1 teaspoon per 1 gallon — to provide magnesium. Or, add a slow-release fertilizer to the soil mix when you plant the geraniums in the pot — it feeds them all season.
Origin
Native to the south-western Cape of South Africa.

Flowering - April - August.
Habitat - Lawns, grassy open ground, roadsides.
Origin - Native to Europe.
Other info. - This weedy yet showy species is uncommon in Missouri but its range will probably continue to expand with time. This species resembles another, G. carolinianum L., but the former has darker pink to purplish flowers, glandular pubescent fruits, and more finely divided upper leaves.
G. dissectum has a long flowering season and would make a good garden subject.

Veins of the blade impressed above, expressed below. Lobes of leaf divided again. Ultimate divisions of the leaf often with a minute reddish tip, subacute to acute.
Inflorescence - Paired pedunculate flowers. Peduncle expanding to +5cm long in fruit, densely simple and glandular pubescent. Ciliate subulate bracts subtending the pedicels. Pedicels to 1cm long in fruit, pubescent as the peduncle.
Flowers - Petals 5, distinct, pale pink, slightly emarginate at the apex, glandular externally, glabrous internally, to 3-4mm long, 2mm broad. Stamens 10, erect, surrounding the ovary. Filaments compressed and expanded at the base, green to pinkish, ciliate. Anthers pinkish-yellow, .7mm broad and long. Ovary superior, densely long ciliate (non-glandular), 5-carpellate. Carpels green, ovoid. Styles 5, green, glabrous at the apex, united at the base. Sepals 5, erect, oblong-ovate, with a 1-2mm long mucro, accrescent, +/-5mm long in flower, to 1cm long in fruit, 4-5mm broad (in fruit), ciliate externally (some glandular), very sparse pubescent to glabrous internally. Carpels in fruit to 4mm long, becoming black, densely long ciliate (some glandular), expanded style tube to -2cm long, pubescent and with a few glandular hairs.
Flowering - May - July.
Habitat - Meadows, prairies, fields, pastures, waste ground, roadsides, railroads.
Origin - Native to U.S.
Other info. - This weedy yet showy species can be found throughout most of Missouri but is less common in the north-central portion of the state. The plant can be identified by its hairy stems, divided leaves, pinkish flowers, tapered sepals, and non-reticulate fruits. This is the most abundant Geranium in Missouri.
