Pelargonium crispum Angel Eyes Bicolor Purple White

The  Pelargonium 'Angel Eyes® Bicolor Purple White’ is part of a new generation of geraniums that combine aromatic foliage repellent to mosquitoes with abundant and long-lasting unusually coloured flowers. Its compact and bushy habit allows it to fill summer pots generously. Its countless small white and carmine purple bicolored flowers, as pretty as miniature pansies, follow one another continuously for months, set off by dense, bright green foliage. 

Belonging to the Geraniaceae family, the Pelargonium 'Angel Eyes® Bicolor Purple White' is the result of extensive hybridization. It quickly forms a rounded, branched mound, with a rather erect habit, reaching 50 cm (19.7 in) in height and 40 cm (15.7 in) in diameter in a few weeks. Its stems bear numerous small, rounded, lobed, strongly veined leaves of a beautiful, bright green, with finely toothed margins. When crushed, they release a lemon-scented geranium aroma. From the month of May, small bicoloured flowers of about 2 cm (0.8 in) appear between the leaves. They consist of two upper petals, carmine violet with a slight white edge, and three lower petals in very pale pink to white tones. Delicate and lively, they almost completely cover the plant until autumn. Afterwards, if you want to keep this geranium for the following year, you can protect it from frost by bringing it indoors into a conservatory (it does not tolerate temperatures below 0°C (32°F).

'Angel Eyes® Bicolor Purple White' is a beautifully coloured geranium that stands out on its own in a window box, thanks to the density of its foliage, the abundance of its flowers, and its range of shades. However, it works wonderfully alongside pink or white Petunias and Surfinias, with which it shares some very romantic shades. If you want to accentuate the "butterfly" effect, place it in the company of Lobelias or Nemesias with vaporous blooms.
