Zonal pelargoniums group together perennial hybrids from the geranium family, in a vast group called Pelargonium x hortorum. They are mostly derived from crossing several pelargonium species native to the southeastern tip of Africa. The Flic Flac Violet Nova geranium is a recently improved variety. The vigorous plant forms a bushy and dense clump with a rounded habit, reaching a medium height of about 35 to 40cm (14 to 16in) in all directions. It produces flowers from May-June to October. Each plant, and even each bouquet of flowers, has its own personality, but all combine white, pink, and varying shades of purple. The sturdy and succulent stems of this geranium bear rounded and weakly lobed leaves that are quite thick. They display prominent veins arranged in a fan shape. The lamina is medium green, with a circular zone of darker green towards the periphery.

Once reserved for balconies and patios, zonal pelargoniums are now making a remarkable entrance into sunny flower beds and borders. Plant them en masse to create a lasting and cheerful decoration throughout the summer season. These plants tolerate drought quite well, meaning they can be combined with garden verbenas, blue lobelias, and black or purple-foliaged ipomoeas (Ipomoea Illusion Midnight Lace, Ipomoea Sweet Heart 'Purple'). Create beautiful pots and hanging baskets by pairing them with bright pink or red varieties, Million Bells, variegated periwinkles, Dichondra 'Silver Falls', violets, and calibrachoas.
