Description
The Zonal Geranium Flower Fairy Velvet is a recent pelargonium with a very early flowering, featuring strong stems carrying very velvety magenta or amaranth red flowers, edged in pink and highlighted with an equally pink eye. Its compact and rather upright habit is accompanied by lovely round and bright green
The Flower Fairy Velvet geranium forms a bushy clump with a fairly compact and upright habit, of medium development, at least 40 cm in all directions. It blooms from spring to autumn, displaying large two-tone flat flowers, velvety in texture and medium in size, with wide petals. They renew endlessly on round and bright green
Once reserved for balconies and terraces, pelargoniums are making a very noticeable entrance into sunny flower beds and borders. Plant them in mass to create a lasting and cheerful display throughout the beautiful season. These plants tolerate water shortage quite well, allowing them to be combined with garden verbenas, lobelias in amazing blues, morning glories with black or purple foliage (
Note: Please note that our young plug plants are professional products intended for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, pot them up and store them under cover (conservatory, greenhouse, cold frame...) at a temperature above 14°C for a few weeks before placing them outdoors once the risk of frost is definitively gone.

Planting and care
Zonal geraniums thrive in fertile, well-drained, neutral to alkaline soils, well loosened and in full sun. Geraniums are hungry plants, requiring regular fertiliser inputs to give the best of themselves.
You can plant pelargoniums from March-April in mild climate regions, but they should be brought indoors in case of frost. To avoid risks, wait until the end of frost before placing them outside, usually around May in the North. When planting in pots or containers, use special geranium compost.
In the garden, wait until late April or even mid-May in the northernmost regions to plant them in the ground and provide a special geranium culture 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.
