Pelargonium (Zonal Group) 'Eileen Nancy'

Confusingly known as geraniums, pelargoniums are in the same plant family as hardy geraniums, but fall into a different genus and bear no resemblance to them at all. They are normally grown as annual bedding plants although they can be overwintered indoors, and are prized for their bright summer flowers and attractive, often fragrant, foliage.

Pelargoniums come in a variety of forms, and most belong to one of the following six horticultural groups: Angel, Ivy-leaved, Regal, Scented-leaved, Unique and Zonal. All thrive in full sun and do best when grown in a sheltered, sunny spot.

Pelargonium 'Eileen Nancy’ has pretty white double flowers flushed with pink. It’s perfect for growing in a pot on a sunny patio, and would also work well at the front of a sunny border. Plants should be brought indoors in autumn for overwintering.
