Chelsea Physic Garden holds one of the UK’s most historic Pelargonium collections, with species first recorded here in 1724. In the 1980s, Professor Mary Gibby used this living collection to carry out pioneering research on chromosome variation and plant evolution, helping shape the modern classification of this diverse South African genus. The collection remains an important resource for scientists and plant lovers alike.
