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.
Angel Pelargoniums are attractive, bushy plants with small rounded leaves and pansy-like flowers. They bear masses of flowers and are well suited to growing in pots and hanging baskets.
Pelargonium ‘Quantock Perfection’ is a lovely Angel pelargonium with pretty, frilled flowers with dark pink upper petals and paler lower petals. It’s perfect for growing in a large pot on a sunny patio, or at the front of a sunny border.
For best results, feed ‘Quantock Perfection’ with a high potash fertiliser during summer and deadhead spent blooms regularly. Bring plants indoors for winter.
