Pelargonium Pinkerbell - Regal Geranium

Pelargonium Pinkerbell is a new variety of florist geranium that stands out with its floribundance, unique flowers, and particularly well-groomed appearance. The plant forms a small, upright and bushy shrub. From late spring to summer, it is adorned with large, bicoloured flowers in bright pink and white. Its beautiful fan-shaped bright green foliage emits a typical geranium aroma when touched. All these qualities make Pinkerbell a very attractive plant for flower beds, hanging baskets, and balcony planters.

Florist geraniums, also known as large-flowered geraniums or pansy geraniums, are perennial hybrids of the Geraniaceae family, in a large group known as Pelargonium x domesticum, P. x grandiflorum, or P. 'Regal'. These hybrids, with their complex genealogy, are mostly derived from P. cucculatum, native to the southeastern tip of Africa, with contributions from other species such as P. diadematum and the large-flowered geranium, P. grandiflorum, which bequeathed them its large corollas. Pinkerbell forms a bushy clump with a compact and regular habit, reaching a moderate height of 40cm (16in) and a width of about 30cm (12in). It flowers early in spring, protected from the cold, and continues to bloom until autumn. It produces large, flat corollas with 6 wide petals arranged in a spiral They boast a very vibrant pink colour, with white markings and margins. They constantly renew themselves on bright green foliage. Its sturdy and succulent stems bear large, circular leaves that are pleated with toothed edges, and a thick, aromatic, and very healthy texture.

Once reserved for balconies and patios, geraniums are now making a very noticeable entrance into sunny flower beds and borders. Plant them en masse to create a lasting and joyful display throughout summer. These plants tolerate water shortage quite well, which means they can be combined with garden verbenas, bacopas, and nemesias, for example. Create magnificent pots and hanging baskets by combining them with white, bright pink, or red-flowered plants, such as Million Bells, variegated periwinkles, Dichondra 'Silver Falls', violets, and calibrachoas.
