Product Description
Zonal Geraniums are among the very best plants for containers and make a great border display too. Providing good height and incredible colour impact to your summer displays, they bring interest to beds and borders as well as making a perfect centrepiece for baskets and patio containers.
Zonals are so named because of the burgundy-coloured half-moon pattern that develops on the upper surface of their leaves, however, it is the strong lollipop-shaped flowers that deservedly capture your attention. Each flower head contains literally dozens of individual flowers together making a display that will last and last. They are incredibly strong-growing and vigorous, flowering throughout the whole of the summer months and right through until the autumn.
Ivy leaf geraniums are best known for their ability to cascade with free-flowering displays from window boxes and hanging baskets. They have incredible Flower-Power and will produce a non-stop cascade of colourful blooms from May until the frosts in the autumn. Also known as cascading or balcony geraniums, they thrive in a hot, sun-drenched location and therefore make the perfect plant for the discerning but busy gardener!
Combine the two types together for an all together out-of-this-world display that will take your summer displays to the next level!
Supplied as 12 plug plants in mixed colours - 8x Ivy Leaf and 4 x Zonal, ready to pot up and grow on or plant straight into baskets and containers ready to go out when all risk of frost has passed.

Planting Advice for your Geraniums:
- Unpack plugs immediately and stand them in water for an hour.
- If you can’t do this, they can sit in their mini greenhouse for a week if upright and not too wet.
- Plugs may be slightly dry or yellow after being in a dark box in the post, but they’ll quickly recover.
- Put them somewhere warm, light and airy such as a windowsill or greenhouse.
- Pot up geranium plugs and grow them on in warm, frost free conditions. They can alternatively be planted straight into baskets and containers ready to go out when all risk of frost has passed.
- When potting on or planting up, handle plugs carefully. Pot on using our 9cm pots in Shuttle Trays, using good multi-purpose compost.
- Give your plants a good water initially, then only when the top compost starts to dry. They don’t like to be left in standing water.
- Plant approx. 20cm (8in) apart to allow them room to grow.
- Feed using a high-potash feed such as Blooming Fast Superior Soluble Fertiliser for Flowers & Fruits, to encourage flowering.
- Dead head when flowers fade to encourage more flowers.
- Remember that plants are frost tender and should be protected from frost at all times.
