Pelargonium Horizon Coral Spice F1 Hybrid

Pelargonium 'Horizon Coral Spice' boasts an unprecedented and vibrant colour that animates its flowers. Its rounded inflorescences display an intense coral-pink hue, above slightly marbled foliage. This vigorous and bushy variety blooms continuously from summer to frost in the year it is sown. It is perfect for borders or pots.

Zonal pelargoniums are perennial hybrids from the geranium family, in a large group called Pelargonium x hortorum. They are mostly derived from P. inquinans, native to the southeastern tip of Africa, with contributions from P. zonale and P. frutetorum.

'Horizon Coral Spice' F1 forms a bushy clump with a fairly round habit. It has medium and balanced growth, measuring at least 35cm (14in) in all directions. If sown early, it will flower from the first summer until the first frost, displaying large, rounded inflorescences. The flowers are composed of 5 wide petals of a very bright coral-pink. They are long-lasting. Their warm colour does not fade in the sun, but it radiates, contrasting well with the dark green foliage that is slightly marbled with bronze. Its sturdy and succulent stems bear circular, undulate leaves with toothed edges and a thick texture that is very healthy.

Once reserved for balconies and patios, zonal pelargoniums are now making a remarkable entrance into sunny flower beds and borders. Plant them en masse to create a lasting and cheerful decoration throughout the summer season. These plants tolerate drought quite well, meaning they can be combined with garden verbenas, blue lobelias, and black or purple-foliaged ipomoeas (Ipomoea Illusion Midnight Lace, Ipomoea Sweet Heart 'Purple'). Create beautiful pots and hanging baskets by pairing them with bright pink or red varieties, million bells, variegated periwinkles, Dichondra 'Silver Falls', violets, and calibrachoas.
