Pelargonium Horizon Pink Meteor F1 Seeds - Geranium

Pelargonium is a tender perennial, often grown as an annual in colder climates. 'Horizon Pink Meteor F1' is a fabulous variety with pink two-toned blooms: on the top the petals are pure white, suffused with pink towards the centre, on the underside they are bright pink. Free-flowering and excellent weather resistance, ideal for pots, containers and borders!

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. 'Pink Meteor F1' forms a small, compact bush with a neat, rounded habit, 35 cm tall and wide. If sown early enough, it flowers in its first year until the first frosts. It features sturdy green to light brown succulent stems covered with round, velvety, wavy green leaves, enhanced with bronze markings. From June to October, two-toned pink blooms gathered in clusters appear above the foliage. Their colour doesn’t fade in the sun and contrasts beautifully with the dark green leaves.

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').
