I wasn't really a believer in plug plants traditionally used by professionals. But actually, when well protected they suffer little from the hardships of shipping! So these Pelargonium Mosquitaway truly live up to their promises. Barely delivered, I repotted them into small 10 cm pots. A few days later, just a pinch of geranium fertilizer, a good watering, and in barely 10 days they developed and are already in full flower. Before their final transplanting, they're actually already ready for a beautiful season. The flowers are superbly colored and I'm waiting for the plant to grow fuller to enjoy their sweet fragrance. Very convincing. Very happy with this purchase.

Description
This Geranium or Pelargonium 'Mosquitaway Megan' may be the best among the 'Mosquitaway' series. With larger flowers than its sisters 'Eva' and 'Lizzy', this variety with fragrant foliage also offers a more abundant flowering than 'Eva', a quality that is generally lacking in aromatic-leaved pelargoniums. Its countless small velvety flowers of dark purple bordered with mauve succeed each other for months on a pretty dark green, crisped foliage, whose lemon-scented fragrance is said to repel mosquitoes. In any case, it presents well with its neat bushy habit and its very pretty flowering, providing a permanent decoration outdoors or in the conservatory. Another delightful and easy-to-grow pelargonium that one must protect from frost to find it intact in spring.
Florist geraniums are perennial hybrids of the geranium family, in a large group called Pelargonium x domesticum. They are mostly derived from Pelargonium cucullatum, native to the southwest of the Cape Province in South Africa, with contributions from different wild species. The 'Angel' type geranium group, which emerged in the 1930s, brings together plants resulting from various crosses between Pelargonium crispum (with aromatic foliage) and florist pelargoniums, which are very floriferous. The Mosquitaway geranium, which is part of this group of hybrids, is a very recent variety that combines many qualities. It comes in three varieties, 'Eva', 'Lizzy', and 'Megan'. This 'Megan' variety forms a bushy and dense clump, with a medium growth, reaching about 45 cm (18in) in height and 35 cm (14in) in width. It produces a mass of single flowers from June to October. Its succulent stems bear small, round, thick, deeply veined, rough, lobed leaves, dark green in colour. Their fragrance resembles that of lemon. Pelargonium foliage is evergreen in winter if the plant is kept frost-free. They are naturally resistant to heat and drought.
Mosquitaway geraniums bring joy to collectors of scented pelargoniums. They create lasting and cheerful displays throughout the summer. Create beautiful pots and hanging baskets by combining colours and foliage, whether plain or variegated. Consider pairing them with lobelias or nemesis, for example. The 'Mosquitaway Megan' variety can be a magnificent specimen in a conservatory or in the house, all year round, especially when blooms are rare in winter.
Note: Please be aware that our young plug plants are professional products intended for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant and store them under shelter (conservatory, greenhouse, cold frame) at a temperature above 14°C (57.2°F) for a few weeks before being planted outdoors once the risk of frost has definitively passed.

Planting and care
Mosquitaway florist geraniums of the 'Angel' type thrive in fertile, well-drained, neutral to limestone soils, well-tilled and in partial shade. Geraniums are hungry plants that require regular fertiliser inputs to give their best.
You can plant pelargoniums as early as March-April in mild climate regions, but you will need to bring them indoors in case of frost. To avoid any risks, wait until the end of the frosts to place them outside, usually around May in the North. When planting in pots or containers, use special geranium potting soil.
In the garden, wait until the end of April or even mid-May in the northernmost regions to install them in open ground and provide your soil with a special geranium growing support.

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.
