Pelargonium TwoinOne Violet

Pelargonium TwoinOne Violet is the latest in a series of exceptional hybrids that combine the qualities of both their parents, the ivy geranium and the zonal geranium. This variety bears an abundance of magenta-pink flowers, grouped in bouquets, on a compact, robust, vigorous plant that has excellent resistance to diseases, weather conditions, and drought. This champion of balconies is in bloom from late March until the first frosts.

This interspecific or hybrid geranium is a recent variety, resulting from cross-breeding between Pelargonium peltatum, the ivy geranium, and a florist's geranium called P. zonale, both of which are plants from the geranium family and are native to South Africa. TwoinOne Violet forms strong stems like zonal geraniums, but they are flexible and slightly creeping like ivy geraniums. It bears more flowers and has a rapid growth rate. It bears vegetation that is both vigorous and harmonious, forming a tuft measuring 40cm (16in) in all directions. Its slightly fleshy and aromatic leaves are peltate and circular, boasting shades of dark green to bronze. The remarkably long and abundant flowering takes place from March-April until the first frosts. The flowers are rounded and fully open. They display a vibrant magenta-pink colour, a dark red spot, and white streaks in the throat.

These geraniums are generous and undemanding plants, but this variety surpasses them in vigour and robustness. It is the perfect plant to decorate pots for a large part of the year, without requiring much maintenance. However, it belongs to a new generation of more robust pelargoniums, which also make a remarkable entrance in sunny flower beds and borders. Plant them en masse to create a lasting and cheerful decoration throughout the summer season. They tolerate water shortage quite well, meaning they can be combined with garden verbenas, blue lobelias, and black or purple-leaved ipomeas (Ipomoea Illusion Midnight Lace, Ipomoea Sweet Heart 'Purple'). Create beautiful pots and hanging baskets by combining them with white or red varieties, Million Bells, variegated periwinkles, Dichondra 'Silver Falls', violets, and calibrachoas.
