20 Year Old Geranium Grows Huge Under Caretaker Tips
Theophile Letendre of Biddeford nurtured a geranium for around twenty years. The plant, now about ten times normal size with countless blossoms, was handed to his grandchildren the Laverrieres. It was kept by hanging upside down by its roots in a cellar and planted each spring after soaking roots. Leaves dry in fall and regrow in spring.
