Plant exhibition in the Geranium House of Nymphenburg Palace Park

More than 200 different species and varieties of geraniums will be on display in the historic Geranium House in Nymphenburg Palace Park from 3 to 12 May. In the plant exhibition, the large-flowered cultivated pelargonium shines in contrast to the delicate wild form, while the miniature pelargonium stands out alongside the leafy ornamental perennials that smell of lemons or nutmeg. Once again this year, the Bavarian Palace Administration’s exhibition will be enhanced by special and succulent pelargoniums from the collection of the Munich-Nymphenburg Botanical Gardens, making it a very special highlight.

Impressive diversity

Pelargoniums (Pelargonium) are a genus of plants in the cranesbill family (Geraniaceae). Its 220 to 280 species are mainly found in southern Africa. Most people know certain pelargonium species and hybrid varieties by their trivial name ‘geraniums’ – but the comparison is misleading: The variety of different growth forms, scents and shapes, patterns and sizes of their leaves is impressive.

When & where?

Daily from 10 am to 4 pm in the Geranium House (Orangery) of Nymphenburg Palace Park.
Admission is free.

Special sale on 10th and 11th May: Take the splendor of flowers home with you

One last tip: we recommend all collectors and pelargonium fans to go to the special flower sale in front of the Geranium House on the weekend of May 10th and 11th. There you can acquire many blooming beauties for your garden and balcony – but not the exhibits.
