Pelargonium (Zonal Group) 'Horizon Orange'

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 ‘Horizon Orange’ is a particularly attractive pelargonium, with an upright, branching habit and a mass of flowers from late-spring to autumn. A vigorous grower, it’s ideal for filling gaps in sunny borders, and also makes an excellent choice for a container on a sunny patio.
