Description

A vigorous pelargonium with an upright or semi-trailing habit, depending on the variety, and a rounded crown. An early-flowering plant, it produces large flowers arranged in umbel-like inflorescences, with petals in a wide range of colours that remain in bloom for a long period, from spring until mid-autumn, creating colourful and eye-catching displays in pots and planters, making it the ideal choice for enhancing terraces, balconies and building façades. It is highly hardy and requires little maintenance.
