Karen, I didn't know this Geranium, but I like it.
I googled the plant and some reports say it will bloom the first year (just a few blooms). The reports about the blooming period vary very much: from just a few weeks up to over 3 months. The foliage in autumn turns to red.
May I ask you for seeds if you are able to collect some? You can have a look at my website to see what you would like to get in return. ALL my seeds are available for trading.
