Pelargonium petroselinifolium has a rather narrow distribution in the southern Koue Bokkeveld north of Ceres and above the Theronsberg Pass east of Ceres. The attractive parsley-like leaves are produced in the winter months followed by the bright pink flowers just before the plants enter dormancy in early summer.


Pelargonium violiflorum is found in the winter rainfall Robertson Karoo where its habitat continues to shrink owing to the expansion of viticulture. The unusually tightly packed umbel of white violet-like flowers is produced in the early summer.


Pelargonium ochroleucum is a very rare species in the Section Hoarea. It has an umbel of most unusual lemon yellow and white flowers produced in the early summer.


Pelargonium leipoldtii is one of the rarer species in the Section Hoarea Pelargoniums. It has some of the most interesting flowers in the Section produced as the ornamental grey foliage starts to wither at the end of winter.
