Product Description
You'll struggle to find a more impressive flash of red flowers for your summer garden than the exceptional blooms that arise from the rich green foliage of the 'Fire Queen' Zonal Geranium.
Simply one of the best varieties for sprinkling fresh life into pots, mixed borders, and beds for summer, these rich flowers grow to a good height with incredible coloured petals. An abundance of large and fabulous scarlet flowers emerge from the plant of deep green leaves.
Take a close look at the foliage to see remarkable burgundy half-moon patterns on the upper surface of the leaves, which even inspire the 'Zonal' name, although it is the red lollipops that will live long in the memory.
Dozens of individual flowers combine to form each bloom, for a display that will truly last and last, without tiring! They are incredibly strong-growing and vigorous, flowering throughout the whole of summer and right through to autumn's threat of frosts.
Supplied as 40 Pro Plug Plants, ready to grow on before planting out.

Plant Information
Top Tips
Deadhead regularly to maintain flowering.
Care Guide
Planting Advice:
- Unpack plugs immediately and stand them in water for an hour.
- 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.
- Plant straight into containers and grow on for a week or two before placing out.
- 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.

It took a while for the plants to be delivered. I guess when I ordered them they were just seeds! However it was well worth the wait as they were all nice strong healthy plants when they arrived. They were well packaged and delivered carefully. The plants have all been potted on and I am looking forward to a lovely display in the summer.

The plug plants took a while to come but it was well worth the wait. They are nice strong healthy plants, quite small but I expected that. They have all been potted on and are now in a cold greenhouse waiting for them to be big enough, and the weather to be good enough , for them to be planted out.

Delivery longer than expected but understandable in current situation. Packaging of 40 geranium plug plants left lot to be desired only three of the plants were still in the cells the remainder were loose in box and badly damaged. Gave up trying to ring to let you know.
Other plugs ok but begonias very dry and suffered more than others. Posted by you Fri not received till Tuesday.

Having grown these from seed in the past do not feel they were a good representation of your plugs, Badly packaged lots of lost leaves and some that are left are at the end of 2" stems very small. Don't think they will flower un til much later in summer, Very disappointed.
