Description
Pelargonium hortorum Fireworks Pink bears simple, star-shaped flowers in a fresh pink hue with a touch of white. They are grouped in upright clusters above the mass of foliage and appear early in the season, lasting until October. The plant has a compact and upright habit, with abundant and unique foliage that is deeply cut. The leaves are bright green with wide dark green markings. This delicate plant is a true gem for a patio or balcony, planted in a beautiful pot.
Zonal pelargoniums are perennial hybrids in the Geraniaceae family, in a large group called Pelargonium x hortorum. They are mostly the result of cross-breeding several pelargonium species native to the southeast tip of Africa. Fireworks Pink is part of a group of hybrids selected for their star-shaped flowers, formed by delicate and pointed petals with a serrated edge. They are also distinguished by their highly lobed foliage that resembles maple leaves. The foliage is often variegated or even tricoloured. Fireworks Pink forms an upright clump with a fairly compact habit, reaching 35cm (14in) in height and 50cm (20in) in spread. It flowers from spring to autumn, displaying elongated and somewhat loose clusters composed of small, single flowers with variegated petals of light pink and white. They are enhanced by bright green foliage, with each leaf adorned with a wide dark green or reddish halo. Its sturdy and succulent stems bear generally circular, undulate leaves with a thick texture and a slight fragrance. The cultivation of these geraniums requires some attention. They need well-drained soil to prevent collar rot, and regular removal of faded flowers.
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.
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.
Water generously, but spaced out to allow the surface of the soil to dry between each watering.

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.
