Features

notes

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. 

Insights

Pelargonium blooms feature rounded clusters of radiant colours with splashes of complementary vibrant shades, nestled amongst bushy foliage. A joyful addition to your greenhouse or interior, these evergreen perennials can flower virtually all year round under the right conditions, bearing foliage that releases a beautiful scent upon touching them. Moreover, the leaves can be shredded and adopted as a fragrant accompaniment to a host of delights, from desserts and salads to cocktails and iced teas, whilst the flowers can be candied and used to decorate cakes.
