Pelargonium Scarlet F2 Seeds - Geranium

Pelargonium 'F2 Scarlet' is a tender perennial, often grown as an annual in colder climates. It forms a small, compact bush with round, marbled, dark green foliage which is covered for a very long time with scarlet red flowers. Ideal for pots, containers and hanging baskets, or sunny borders and beds in light, well-drained, fertile soil.

Geranium x hortorum or zonal pelargoniums belong to the Geraniaceae family. They are selected from various parent species including Pelargonium inquinans, native to the south-eastern tip of Africa, Pelargonium zonale and Pelargonium frutetorum. 'F2 Scarlet' forms a small, compact bush, 35 cm high and 30 cm wide, with sturdy green to light brown succulent stems covered with round, velvety, wavy green leaves, enhanced with dark markings. From June to October, single scarlet red blooms appear above the foliage, gathered in clusters.

Often grown in pots, window boxes and containers on balconies and patios, pelargoniums are becoming an increasingly popular choice for sunny flowerbeds and borders. The advantage of sowing pelargoniums is one can grow a large number of plants at a much lower cost. Perfect for growing them en masse for a long-lasting, cheerful display all summer long. The plants are fairly drought tolerant. They combine well with verbenas, blue lobelias, morning glory with black or purple foliage (Ipomea 'Illusion Midnight Lace', Ipomea 'Sweet Heart Purple').
