Pelargonium TwoinOne White Splash

Pelargonium TwoinOne White is a brand-new variety of robust and floriferous pelargonium that combines all the qualities of its two parents. It is part of a new series of hybrids selected for their performance in the garden as well as their ornamental qualities. This variety bears umbels of single and bicolour flowers that are white with a dark pink-red eye. The flowers are perfectly displayed on lush and healthy foliage. The plant is vigorous and bushy. It has excellent resistance to heat, bad weather, and drought. It blooms from spring until the first frost.

This hybrid geranium is a recent creation, resulting from cross-breeding between Pelargonium peltatum, the ivy geranium, and P. zonale, which are both cold-sensitive plants from the geranium family. They are native to South Africa. This variety bears 'zonale'-type flowers and leaves, forming strong stems like zonal geraniums, while retaining the disease resistance of ivy geraniums. Even more floriferous and with a rapid growth rate, it bears vigorous, upright vegetation that quickly forms a bush about 50cm (20in) tall and 35 to 40cm (14 to 16in) wide. Its slightly fleshy and aromatic leaves are peltate and circular, in a beautiful shade of dark olive-green. The remarkably long and abundant flowering takes place from March-April until the first frosts. The large umbels of single and brilliantly bicoloured flowers are round and fully open. Pelargoniums are hardy to about -4°C (24.8°F). They can, however, survive in the ground in very mild regions, developing into true bushes that show their full potential. In nature, their ancestors are plants that thrive in difficult soil and climate conditions.

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.
