Description

Pelargonium peltatum Double Apricot is a lovely variety of ivy-leaf geranium that will work wonders in flower boxes, balcony planters, and hanging baskets. Its long, flexible stems are adorned with shiny leaves of a vibrant green. The stems carry beautiful double bouquets in a delightful shade of pink. They continuously bloom from spring until the first frost, transforming the plant into a magnificent cascade of flowers.

 

This geranium is derived from Pelargonium peltatum, also known as P. hederaefolium or ivy-leaf geranium. It is a tender perennial plant of the geranium family, with ancestors from South Africa. It is of horticultural origin. This hybrid is characterised by its trailing or cascading habit and long stems adorned with shiny, lobed leaves that theoretically persist through winter if the plant is kept frost-free. It is hardy to about -4°C (24.8°F), so it is usually grown as an annual in our climate.

In just a few weeks, this variety forms a bushy, semi-trailing clump measuring approximately 35cm (14in) in height and 45cm (18in) in diameter. Its leaves are circular, leathery and palmate, with pointed lobes. The leaves are initially light green, before turning to a vibrant green when mature. The flowering occurs from April-May until the first frosts, with a peak in July-August. The double flowers are rounded and fully open in a fresh pink colour. They are grouped in small bouquets.

 

Ivy-leaf geraniums are generous and undemanding plants, perfect for decorating pots for a large part of the year. Plant them en masse, combining different colours, to create a lasting and cheerful display throughout summer. These plants can be used to cascade from a planter, a raised pot, or a hanging basket. They can also be grown as ground cover in flower beds, where they tolerate water scarcity very well. Depending on the preferences of each gardener, this variety can be paired with verbenas, blue lobelias, morning glories, Million Bells, Madagascan periwinkles, Dichondra 'Silver Falls', bidens, or even diascias, for example.

Please be aware that our young plug plants are professional products intended for experienced gardeners. Upon receipt, repot and store them under cover (veranda, greenhouse, cold frame) at a temperature above 14°C (57.2°F) for a few weeks before planting them outdoors, once the risk of frost has definitely passed.

Planting and care

You can plant your geraniums in the ground or in a pot. If you want to plant them in the ground, wait until the last frost has passed. In the meantime, you can pre-cultivate them in a pot in a warm and bright place to accelerate their growth.

Geraniums will bloom for a long period of time. Plant them in a sunny or partially shaded location, sheltered from strong winds. They need light, humus-rich, well-drained soil. They do not like stagnant humidity. Do not water them too much at the beginning of the growing season as they are sensitive to excess moisture. They tolerate drought well, but will need regular watering during hot summer temperatures, especially when grown in pots. Geraniums are susceptible to frost (minimum -4°C (24.8°F)).

These floriferous and fast-growing plants are hungry. We recommend feeding them with a liquid geranium fertiliser once or twice a week during the growing season.

Remove faded flowers and dry leaves as they appear to keep the plants looking beautiful and extend the flowering period.

As geraniums are susceptible to frost, they need to be stored indoors during winter. In spring, repot them before bringing them back outside.
