Carrot Leaf Geranium

Carrot Leaf Geranium is Pelargonium crithmifolium, also known as samphire-leaved geranium. The [RHS species profile](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/12391/pelargonium-crithmifolium/details) confirms the species name and common name and places it in Geraniaceae. Pelargoniums vary widely: the genus includes perennials, subshrubs and shrubs, sometimes succulent, with lobed or pinnately divided leaves and clusters of flowers. For this species, choose a bright position and a free-draining growing medium rather than treating it like a moisture-loving bedding geranium. The RHS's general [Pelargonium growing guide](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/pelargonium/growing-guide) recommends moderate watering in active growth, well-drained soil and protection from frost for tender forms; adjust watering to the plant's seasonal growth. The assigned common name and scientific identity remain distinct from the usual zonal garden hybrids.
