Pelargonium Iceberg

Pelargonium Iceberg ('Paciceberg') is a recent variety that is very compact and resistant. Its strong stems carry pure white flowers that do not turn pink. It displays beautiful bright green foliage. It flowers from spring to autumn, forming small, perfectly round bushes. It is ideal for small gardens, hanging baskets, and planters.

Zonal pelargoniums are perennial hybrids from the Geraniaceae family, in a large group called Pelargonium x hortorum. They are mostly derived from P. inquinans, native to the southeast tip of Africa, with contributions from P. zonale and P. frutetorum. Iceberg forms a medium-sized bushy clump with a fairly compact habit, measuring at least 40cm (16in) in all directions. It flowers from spring to autumn, bearing medium-sized pure white flowers with wide petals. They do not turn pink as they age, contrasting well with the bright green foliage. Its strong and succulent stems carry circular, undulate leaves with toothed edges and a thick texture.

Once reserved for balconies and patios, pelargoniums are making a noticeable entrance into sunny flower beds and borders. Plant them en masse to create a lasting and vibrant display throughout summer. These plants tolerate water scarcity quite well, allowing them to be combined with garden verbenas, blue lobelias, and black or purple-leaved ipomoeas (Ipomoea Illusion Midnight Lace, I. 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.
