Description
Pelargonium Happy Face Amethyst bears beautiful clusters of lilac-amethyst flowers that bloom from June until the first frosts. This trailing variety is easy to grow and requires little maintenance. Its beautiful flowers and foliage are ideal for creating sumptuous displays in hanging baskets or pots, either alone or paired with a purple or pale-pink variety.
Ivy geraniums are derived, among others, from Pelargonium peltatum, a plant from the geranium family that is native to the coastal region of the Cape Province in South Africa. This species forms trailing or spreading stems. Its foliage resembles that of ivy. The hybrids we know as ivy geraniums have the same trailing habit and increased floriferousness. This variety has a rapid growth rate, forming a trailing dome 50 to 60cm (20 to 24in) high, composed of numerous flexible stems adorned with bright and shiny dark green foliage. The slightly fleshy and aromatic leaves display five pointed lobes. They are peltate and circular. The single and round flowers are grouped in terminal clusters, 3 to 5cm (1 to 2in) in diameter.
Ivy geraniums are generous and undemanding plants, ideal for decorating pots for a large part of the year. They cascade beautifully from pots and balconies. Their simple flowers create colourful spots that blend together or highlight other plants, whether trailing like purple or chocolate-leaved ipomoeas (Ipomoea Illusion Midnight Lace, Ipomoea Sweet Heart 'Purple') or upright like zonal geraniums, petunias, gauras, or fuchsias. The Happy Face Amethyst variety brings the necessary volume to floral compositions, whether used alone or combined with a white or dark red variety like 'Velvet Red', for example.
Please be aware that our young plug plants are professional products intended for experienced gardeners. Upon receipt, repot and store them under cover (veranda, greenhouse, cold frame) at a temperature above 14°C (57.2°F) for a few weeks before planting them outdoors, once the risk of frost has definitely passed.

Planting and care
You can plant your geraniums in the ground or in a pot. If you want to plant them in the ground, wait until the last heavy frosts have passed. In the meantime, you can pre-cultivate them in a pot in a warm and bright place to accelerate their growth.
Geraniums will flower from June to October. They need light, humus-rich, well-drained soil. They do not like stagnant humidity. Do not water them too much at the beginning of the growing season as they are sensitive to excess moisture. They tolerate drought well, but will need regular watering during hot summer temperatures, especially when grown in pots. Geraniums are susceptible to frost (minimum -2°C (28.4°F)).
These floriferous and fast-growing plants are hungry. We recommend feeding them with a liquid geranium fertiliser once or twice a week during the growing season.
Remove faded flowers and dry leaves as they appear to keep the plants looking beautiful and extend the flowering period.

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.
