Geranium Ice Red Hybrid
This Geranium blooms early and stays late!
Ice Red is a totally new look for Pelargoniums, and it's got the vigor and flower power to back up its pretty face! In our trial gardens here in South Carolina, it sprang up a week or two sooner than others, then outlasted them all through extreme heat, drought, and rain as the summer progressed. This is an excellent Geranium for the garden -- it's tough enough to take whatever Nature chooses to dish out! But its blooms are so drop-dead gorgeous, you'll want to pot it up for up-close enjoyment, too! What a nice problem to have -- a Geranium that looks great everywhere!
The flowers are just 1 to 1/2 inches across, but they are borne by the dozen in big, rounded, crowded 5-inch heads. Banked by large, soft-textured foliage with great zonal (dark) markings, this Geranium is stylish, yet equally at home in the chaotic annual bed or the formal patio! And if you like this color, try its cousins Ice Orange, Ice Rose, and usual "reverse picotee" Picotee Mix.
Sow the seed indoors in late winter, and pinch the young plants as they grow to encourage more side-shoots and better branching. Pkt is 10 seeds.
