With a vigorous growth and trailing habit, in addition to its foliage and colour, Pelargonium ‘Pink Capricorn’ is one of beauty. Bearing slightly spreading stems carrying three-lobed leaves with silky-smooth soft hairs, they emit a lemon-rose scent when gently touched. During the summer and autumn periods, the foliage is topped with delicate sprays of mauve pink flowers, each with a faint, white eye. Each plant arrives planted in a terracotta 14cm (6in) pot.
