Description

I love lipstick-red pelargoniums growing simply in a windowbox or series of summer table centre pots in a line — bold, definite and stylish.

This is a wonderful compact variety with beautiful foliage as well as flowers, each leaf outlined in a shading of crimson like a crinkled fan. Quick and easy to grow from seed.

Care Tips

Water and feed plants well in summer and deadhead to encourage a second flush of flowers. Lift the plants and pot them up inside before the frost, cutting the top growth back by one third as you do so.
