Pelargonium Galaxy Pink

The Galaxy 'Pink' inter-specific Geranium dazzles us with its very bright and intense pink flowers of dense and full colour. This cultivar comes from a series with particularly vigorous growth and large semi-double flowers on dark green foliage marbled with brown. It performs excellently in the garden and on the terrace or balcony. With an upright habit, the plant is robust and shows good resistance. This Pelargonium flowers from April until the first frost.

This interspecific Geranium, or hybrid, is a recent variety resulting from the cross-breeding between a Pelargonium peltatum, the ivy-leaved geranium, and P. zonale, both plants belonging to the Geraniaceae family and originating from South Africa. It combines the qualities of its two parents. Always more floriferous and with rapid growth, Galaxy 'Pink' offers vigorous vegetation and forms a clump of 40 to 50 cm (16 to 20in) in all directions, with peltate, circular, dark green leaves maculated with brown, slightly fleshy and aromatic. The remarkably long and abundant flowering occurs from March-April until the first frost. The semi-double flowers are rounded, well-open, full, bright, and intense pink.

Always more vigorous and floriferous, florist geraniums surpass themselves from series to series. The Galaxy range offers the most vigorous varieties on the market. Generous and undemanding, it is a perfect plant for decorating pots for a large part of the year. But beyond balconies and terraces, plant them in sunny flower beds and borders. Plant them in mass to create a lasting and cheerful decoration throughout the beautiful season. These plants tolerate water scarcity quite well, allowing them to be associated with resistant annuals such as garden verbenas, cosmos, and zinnias . Dark foliage plants like morning glories are added to enhance them. In pots or hanging baskets, mix different varieties of geraniums for their varied colours, or add periwinkles, violets, Carex, or silver foliage plants like artemisias or senecios.
