Colours and shapes
The Regal Pelargonium has unmissable flowers that bloom in a trumpet shape. The flowers have six petals in bright purple, bright pink, pale pink, dark red, pillar box red or white.

The plant is a fan of summer, so if the weather’s good bring this beauty outside with you.

Origin
The Regal Pelargonium initially grew wild in southern Africa. In around 1600 Dutch East Indies Company ships brought the plant from the Cape of Good Hope to Europe, where it’s was the star turn in various botanical gardens. Nowadays we place the plant indoors so that you can enjoy this African beauty all year round.
