Pelargonium Candy Flowers Peach Cloud

The Geranium 'Candy Flowers Peach Cloud' is a new hybrid variety that combines many qualities. Its singular flowers, of beautiful size, brightly coloured in pink and white, bloom abundantly on a compact, robust, vigorous plant that offers excellent heat, weather, and drought resistance. And of course, it blooms from spring until the first frost. A champion in all categories for balconies!

This hybrid geranium is a recent variety, derived among others from the Pelargonium zonale, a plant from the geranium family native to South Africa. The 'Candy Flowers' pelargoniums have the particularity of a compact and bushy, upright habit, as well as beautiful flower heads with unusual colours. Always more floriferous and with rapid growth, 'Candy Flowers Peach Cloud' forms a rounded clump of about 40 cm (16in) in all directions. Its leaves are rounded, with lobed edges, toothed, fairly vibrant green, slightly fleshy and aromatic. The flowering, long and abundant, takes place from May until September-October. It regularly renews itself, even in hot weather. The large flower umbels are rounded and well open, composed of flowers with 6 wide, undulate petals, with a slightly orange-pink colour and a white base, maculated with a deeper coral pink.

Florist geraniums are generous and undemanding plants, but this 'Candy Flowers Peach Cloud' variety surpasses them with the originality of its colour. It is a perfect plant to decorate pots for a large part of the year, without requiring much maintenance. Once reserved for balconies and terraces, pelargoniums are making a very noticeable entrance into sunny flower beds and borders. Plant them en masse to create a lasting and cheerful decoration throughout the warm season. These plants tolerate a lack of water quite well, which allows them to be associated with garden verbenas, lobelias in unheard-of blues, black or purple-leaved ipomeas (Ipomoea 'Illusion Midnight Lace', Ipomoea 'Sweet Heart Purple'). Create magnificent pots and hanging baskets by combining them with white or red varieties, 'Million Bells', variegated periwinkles, Dichondra 'Silver Falls', violets, calibrachoas...
