How beautiful it is! A marvel of delicacy! I keep it in a pot (compact) near a window to enjoy it. I have kept it for years and easily propagated it for my friends! Unfortunately, I lost it during a winter when I was less vigilant about frost.

Description
Pelargonium 'Apple Blossom Rosebud' bears spectacular bouquets of flowers that resemble small roses. They boast shades of bright pink and white that are reminiscent of apple blossoms. Its foliage is dark green, very rounded, and slightly villous. This plant displays a rounded habit. It is ideal for creating sumptuous summer displays in small gardens, hanging baskets, and romantic flower boxes.
Zonal pelargoniums are perennial hybrids in the geranium family, grouped under the name Pelargonium x hortorum. They are mostly derived from P. inquinans, native to the southeastern tip of Africa, with contributions from P. zonale and P. frutetorum. This variety forms a bushy clump with vigorous growth, reaching a minimum size of 50cm (20in) in all directions. It blooms from spring to autumn, displaying large heads composed of double flowers. They are light and bright pink with a white centre. The medium-sized blooms consist of tightly packed petals. They contrast nicely with the dark green deciduous foliage. Its sturdy and succulent stems bear circular, undulate leaves with toothed edges and a thick, healthy texture.
Once reserved for balconies and patios, pelargoniums have made a highly noticeable entrance into sunny flowerbeds and borders. Plant them en masse to create a lasting and cheerful display throughout the summer season. These plants tolerate drought quite well, making them perfect companions for garden verbenas, blue lobelias, and ipomoeas with black or purple foliage (Ipomoea Illusion Midnight Lace, Ipomoea Sweet Heart 'Purple'). Create stunning pots and hanging baskets by combining them with vibrant pink or red varieties, Million Bells, variegated periwinkles, Dichondra 'Silver Falls', violets, bacopas, and calibrachoas.
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
Zonal geraniums thrive in fertile, well-drained, neutral to alkaline, well-loosened soils. They prefer full sun. Geraniums are hungry plants that require regular applications of fertiliser to give their best.
You can plant pelargoniums as early as March-April in mild climate regions, but they will need to be brought indoors in case of frost. To avoid any danger, wait until the risk of frost has passed 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, to plant them in the ground. Add a special geranium growing support to 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.
