Description
The Pelargonium 'Kettlebaston 'is a variety from the Angel series, renowned for its floribundance. Its delightful small solitary flowers in two shades of pink bring life to an aromatic and evergreen foliage with a lemon fragrance. The two-tone flower is composed of 3 pale pink petals slightly tinged with blue and 2 petals strongly tinted with a purple halo on the same pale pink background. Its medium green foliage is crinkled, undulate, and dentate, emitting a strong citrus scent. Its bushy and upright habit is ideal for flowering pots, providing a permanent decoration outside or in the veranda. Another delightful and easy-to-grow pelargonium that one must protect from frost to find it intact in spring.
Florist's pelargoniums are perennial hybrids from the geranium family, in a large group called Pelargonium x domesticum. They are mostly derived from Pelargonium cucullatum, native to the southwestern Cape Province in South Africa, with the contribution of different wild species. The group of 'Angel' type geraniums, which emerged in the 1930s, brings together plants resulting from various crosses between Pelargonium crispum (with aromatic foliage) and florist's pelargoniums, highly floriferous. The 'Kettlebaston' geranium is part of this group of hybrids. The plant forms a bushy and dense clump with a slightly spreading habit, reaching a medium size of about 50 cm (20in) in height and 40 cm (16in) in width. It produces a mass of single flowers, from June to October. Each flower is composed of two upper petals, purplish with pale pink edges, and three lower petals, pale pink with a slight mauve hue. Its succulent stems bear small lobed and heavily dentate leaves, quite thick, deeply veined, with crinkled edges, in a medium green colour. Their fragrance is reminiscent of lemon.
Florist's geraniums create lasting and cheerful displays throughout the summer. They prefer semi-shaded positions and coolness. These plants tolerate a lack of light quite well, which allows them to be paired with hostas, ferns, impatiens, lobelias with incredible blues, or even begonias. Create magnificent pots and hanging baskets by combining colors and foliage, either solid or variegated. The Kettlebaston variety can be a magnificent specimen in a veranda or in the house throughout the year, especially when colour is scarce in winter.

Planting and care
'Angel' florist's geraniums thrive in fertile, well-drained, neutral to calcareous soils, well-tilled and in partial shade. Geraniums are demanding plants that require regular fertiliser inputs to give their best performance.
You can plant pelargoniums as early as March-April in regions with mild climates, but you will need to bring them indoors in case of frost. To avoid any risk, wait until the end of frost before placing them outside. When planting in pots or containers, use special geranium compost. In the garden, wait until the end of April, or even mid-May in the northernmost regions, to plant them in open ground and provide a special geranium growing support for your soil.

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.
