Updated: February 2008
The new "SHIP NOW" list for this spring will be listed here in another six weeks. They are this year's propagation of my stock plants and will be shipped in 4" or 4-1/2"pots for all plants listed. What is not sold via my 'ship now' list will be taken to various plant sales I am involved with - so you, my long time customers (and not so long time customers) will get first pick. If you would like me to email you when I post the 'ship now' list, just send me an email by clicking this link --> email me.
As explained previously, I am NOT ACCEPTING custom propagated orders this spring - I am playing catch up to get my greenhouses sorted out.
PLANTS SHOWCASED IN THE JULY ISSUE OF COLORADO HOMES AND LIFESTYLES MAGAZINES WILL BE AVAILABLE ON THE 'SHIP NOW' LIST.
I will however, continue to supply various garden centres and garden club plant sales. Of course I will also be taking plants to sell at the various speaking engagements I have agreed to.
============
At this site you will find over 2,500 different pelargoniums, described in detail. The plant names underlined have photographs attached, just double click. I am hoping this site will be used as your 'reference library' as there are details on each
plant listed here, as well as their photographs.
My site is fully printable but to protect my
pictures from being used by other businesses without permission, there are
registered embedded watermarks on each of them.
Although I call my mail-order company 'Holt
Geraniums', I am really cultivating pelargoniums. To give a brief explanation,
geraniums are the hardy, perennial outdoor members of the geraniaceae family.
The plants that you buy at retail outlets each year, and the ones you see mass
planted and called 'bedding geraniums', are really pelargoniums. There
is a detailed breakdown on the family and where zonals, regals, angels,
stellars, frutetorum, etc. fit in the 'Feature Article' section.
If you just want to browse, feel free to check out my on-line
catalogue and enjoy the photographs!

NON NORTH AMERICA CUSTOMERS:
There are new regulations with regards to shipping plants to the E.U. (European Union). One of the regulations are that Tomato Ringspot Virus tests must be done on pelargoniums and they cannot be more than fourth generation from virus tested plants. As I renew my stock plants every three years I would get 12 years from virus testing, which seems feasible except that not only do the greenhouse pelargoniums need to be tested but plants on ALL the property must be tested as well. The testing is extremely expensive for each sample so I have decided that I will not incur that expense. Therefore, and I apologize, I will no longer ship to countries in the E.U. or any that require virus testing.
I am hardput to understand why that particular test is required as I do not know of ONE SINGLE country in the E.U. or in fact almost worldwide that does NOT HAVE tomato ringspot virus present in their country... kind of like taking coals to Newcastle if you ask me.
Countries included in the E.U. are:
Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus (Greek part), Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemborg, Malta, Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovania, Sweden & United Kingdom.
