Hi folks, anyone know the name of this pelargonium, the leaf circles are very distinctive,it came as a tiny cutting from a car boot they had been given it,any ideas gratefully received

How about Pretty Polly the Pelargonium? that's a nice name.

Hosta, you are very sharp today, not a bad name though.

Hostafan1

thanks. TBH, there are hundreds ( thousands? ) of varieties . It's a long shot to hope anyone can give a 100% ID without seeing flowers too.

you are all very sharp today,I have seen hundreds myself in the flesh or leaf so to speak but this zonal marking is different to any that i have come across,it is such a sharply defined ring. but hoped that maybe somone would have bought one with the name attached to the plant,

I'd try again for an ID next year when it's in flower

Hi Hexagon,it was a whole 25p, only about  1in high but well rooted piece,i have already taken bits of it which is why i have not seen flowers,but it is all about the zonal marking being so distinctive,it does not show on photo as sharp as it really is but i have 2 good sized plants now so hope it will be a nice flower too .

hi ps I looked out for it at numerous nurseries in the summer without seeing one like  but did not actually enquire about, its an idea,  thanks

I agree with Hostafan.
Pelargonium Distinction...leaves maybe similar....but without knowing what your flowers are like it could be 100% wrong...and probably is!
