Description
Pelargonium 'Horizon Coral Spice' boasts an unprecedented and vibrant colour that animates its flowers. Its rounded inflorescences display an intense coral-pink hue, above slightly marbled foliage. This vigorous and bushy variety blooms continuously from summer to frost in the year it is sown. It is perfect for borders or pots.
Zonal pelargoniums are perennial hybrids from the geranium family, in a large group called Pelargonium x hortorum. They are mostly derived from P. inquinans, native to the southeastern tip of Africa, with contributions from P. zonale and P. frutetorum.
'Horizon Coral Spice' F1 forms a bushy clump with a fairly round habit. It has medium and balanced growth, measuring at least 35cm (14in) in all directions. If sown early, it will flower from the first summer until the first frost, displaying large, rounded inflorescences. The flowers are composed of 5 wide petals of a very bright coral-pink. They are long-lasting. Their warm colour does not fade in the sun, but it radiates, contrasting well with the dark green foliage that is slightly marbled with bronze. Its sturdy and succulent stems bear circular, undulate leaves with toothed edges and a thick texture that is very healthy.
Once reserved for balconies and patios, zonal pelargoniums are now making a remarkable entrance into sunny flower beds and borders. Plant them en masse to create a lasting and cheerful decoration throughout the summer season. These plants tolerate drought quite well, meaning they can be combined with garden verbenas, blue lobelias, and black or purple-foliaged ipomoeas (Ipomoea Illusion Midnight Lace, Ipomoea Sweet Heart 'Purple'). Create beautiful pots and hanging baskets by pairing them with bright pink or red varieties, million bells, variegated periwinkles, Dichondra 'Silver Falls', violets, and calibrachoas.

Planting and care
Sowing
Sow from mid-January to mid-March.
Sow the seeds in trays or pots in special sowing compost. Enclose the pots in a propagator or place them in a warm location to maintain an optimal temperature of 20 to 25°C (68 to 77°F). Cover with 1.5mm of soil. Do not exclude light, as it promotes germination. Germination can take 3 to 21 days. Keep the surface of the compost moist, but not waterlogged. For best results, ensure the temperature is the same both day and night.
Transplant the young plants when they are large enough to handle, into 7cm (3in) diameter pots. Harden off the young plants Place them outdoors in the ground when all risk of frost has passed. Space them 30cm (12in) apart. They can be planted in larger pots. Choose a very sunny location.
Cultivation
Zonal geraniums thrive in fertile, well-drained, neutral to alkaline soils that are well-prepared and in full sun. Geraniums are hungry plants that require regular fertilisation to give their best.
You can plant pelargoniums as early as March-April in mild regions, but they will need to be brought indoors in case of frost. To be on the safe side, wait until all risk of frost has passed before placing them outside. This is usually around May. When planting in pots or containers, use special geranium compost.
In the garden, wait until the end of April, or even mid-May in colder regions, to plant them in the ground. Add a special geranium growing support to your soil.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
