Pelargonium Angel Eyes Randy - Regal Geranium

The Geranium, or Pelargonium 'Angel Eyes Randy', is part of the new generation that offers abundant flowering with original colours. Its semi-trailing habit, perfectly suited for hanging baskets, allows for generous filling of summer pots. The multiple small flowers will bloom from June to September and brighten up compositions with a dark pink hue, turning towards burgundy at their centre and bordered with blush white. The dense foliage completes this bushy and colourful ensemble.

Belonging to the Geraniaceae family, the Pelargonium 'Angel Eyes Randy' is the result of extensive hybridisation work that has led to this cultivar with multiple qualities. Its bushy and semi-trailing habit makes it the perfect ally for hanging baskets and compositions that it generously fills. It forms a beautiful, compact ball measuring 30 cm (12in) in height and spread, composed of numerous stems carrying multiple small leaves. They are a beautiful deep green, rounded, lobed, with finely toothed edges and nicely veined. From late spring, small flowers of about 2 cm (1in) appear and add color to this ensemble. They consist of two upper petals, dark pink at the centre with beautiful deep red nuances, bordered with light pink, and three lower petals in slightly paler shades of pink. Dynamic, vibrant, and light, they cover the plant like a swarm of butterflies until autumn. If you wish to keep it for the following year, you can protect it from frost by bringing it indoors to a conservatory (it cannot tolerate temperatures below 0°C (32°F)).

'Angel Eyes Randy' is a Geranium that can fill a planter on its own thanks to the density of its foliage, flowers, and the range of shades it offers. However, it works wonders alongside Petunias and Surfinias, with which it shares the pleasure of being in partial shade and having very romantic tones. If you want to accentuate the "butterfly" effect, place it alongside Lobelias or Nemesias for a hazy effect.
