Pelargonium Galaxy White

The Galaxy 'White' Inter-Specific Geranium is a cultivar from a particularly vigorous series of large semi-double flowers. It offers excellent performance in the garden as well as on the terrace or balcony. 'White' produces pure white and bright flowers, barely maculated with an orange spot in the center, on dark green foliage marbled with brown. The plant has an upright habit and is robust and highly resistant. This Pelargonium flowers from April until the first frosts.

This inter-specific geranium, or hybrid, is a recent variety resulting from the cross-breeding between a Pelargonium peltatum, the ivy-leaf geranium, and a P. zonale, which are both plants from the geranium family native to South Africa. It combines the qualities of both parents. Always more floriferous and with rapid growth, Galaxy 'White' offers vigorous vegetation and forms a 40 to 50 cm (16 to 20in) clump in all directions, with peltate, circular, dark green leaves maculated with brown, slightly fleshy and aromatic. The remarkably long and abundant flowering occurs from March to April until the first frost. The semi-double flowers are rounded and well open, of pure white.

Always more vigorous and floriferous, the florist geraniums surpass themselves from series to series. The Galaxy range offers the most powerful varieties on the market. Generous and undemanding, it is a perfect plant to decorate pots for a large part of the year. But beyond balconies and patios, plant them in sunny flower beds and borders. Plant them in a mass to create a lasting and cheerful decoration throughout the beautiful season. These plants tolerate water scarcity quite well, which allows them to be associated with resistant annuals such as garden verbenas, cosmos, zinnias and to add dark foliage such as that of morning glories to highlight them. In pots or hanging baskets, mix different varieties of geraniums for their various colours, or add periwinkles, violets, Carex or plants with silver foliage such as artemisias or senecios.

Note: Attention, our young plug plants are professional products reserved for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant and store them under cover (veranda, greenhouse, cold frame...) at a temperature above 14°C (57.2°F) for a few weeks before being installed outdoors once the risk of frost is definitively eliminated.
