Geranium zonale Flower Fairy Velvet is a recent pelargonium, with a very early flowering, featuring strong stems bearing very velvety magenta or red flowers, edged with pink and highlighted with an equally pink eye. Its compact and rather upright habit is accompanied by a beautiful round and vibrant green foliage. Flowering from spring to autumn, it forms small round bushes. Ideal for small gardens, hanging baskets and containers.
Geranium Flower Fairy Velvet forms a bushy clump with a fairly compact and upright habit, reaching a minimum size of 40 cm (16in) in all directions. It flowers from spring to autumn, displaying large, fairly flat bicolour flowers with a velvety texture and medium size, with wide petals. They constantly renew themselves on round and vibrant green foliage. Its strong and succulent stems bear circular, undulate, dentate-edged leaves with a thick texture, very healthy.
Once reserved for balconies and terraces, pelargoniums have made a highly notable entrance into sunny flower beds and borders. Plant them en masse to create a lasting and cheerful display throughout the beautiful season. These plants tolerate lack of water quite well, which allows them to be paired with garden verbenas, lobelias with incredible blues, black or purple-leaved Ipomoeas (Ipomoea Illusion Midnight Lace, Ipomoea Sweet Heart Purple). Create magnificent pots and hanging baskets by combining them with bright pink or red varieties, Million Bells, variegated periwinkles, Dichondra Silver Falls, violets, and calibrachoas.
Note: Please be aware that our young plug plants are professional products intended for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant and store them in sheltered areas (conservatory, greenhouse, cold frame...) at a temperature above 14°C (57.2°F) for a few weeks before being installed outdoors once the risk of frost has definitively passed.

Botanical data
Geraniums thrive in fertile, well-drained, neutral to alkaline soils that are well loosened and in full sun. Geraniums are demanding plants that require regular fertiliser inputs to give their best performance.
You can plant pelargoniums from March-April in mild climate regions, but you will need to bring them indoors in case of frost. To avoid any risks, wait until the end of frost to place them outside, usually around May in the North. When planting in pots or containers, use special geranium compost.
In the garden, wait until the end of April or even mid-May in the northernmost regions to plant them in the ground and provide a special geranium growing support to your soil.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
