Frost-sensitive, this plant can be grown as an annual or protected from frost until the following spring. Don't miss out on this beautiful plant for containers and borders!

From the Geraniaceae family, zonal geraniums are perennial hybrids grouped under the botanical name Pelargonium x hortorum. They are mostly cultivars resulting from cross-breeding several Pelargonium species native to southeastern Africa. The 'Mrs Wren' geranium is an old variety selected for its original colour and robustness. It forms a bushy and dense clump with a rounded habit, reaching up to 50 cm in all directions. Its flowering period lasts from May to June until the first frost. Its sturdy and succulent stems bear rounded, weakly lobed leaves, slightly tomentose and of an elegant bright green. They serve as a backdrop for clusters of single flowers, red with white edges.

Traditionally used in hanging baskets, geraniums also naturally find their place in beds, borders, and sunny flower beds. Pair your 'Mrs Wren' zonal geranium with Endurascape Lava Red verbenas with magnificent vermilion-red flowers and Anabel Snow White lobelias with numerous small white flowers. To complete the composition and add depth, consider an Illusion Midnight Lace morning glory with almost black foliage.
