California - Stellar Pelargonium (Geranium) Plant - 6cm pot

California is a Stellar Pelargonium with unusual leaves and bright red flowers which are almost pom pom like. It likes to flower prolifically so likes to be fed well. Stellar Pelargoniums were bred in Australia during the 1970s, which mean these plants are a relatively recent addition to the world of Pelargoniums, but they've already captured the hearts of plant lovers everywhere. With their delicate foliage and stunning flowers, Stellar Pelargoniums (Geraniums) are unlike anything that came before them. Their range of flower shapes and colors is truly breathtaking - you'll find everything from vibrant reds and pinks to soft pastels and creamy whites. These plants are true blooming machines, with some producing as many as twenty blooms (bursting out like fireworks or starbursts on a single, modest plant! Despite their delicate appearance, Stellar Pelargoniums are tough and resilient, making them an ideal choice for container gardens or as summer bedding. They're also some of the first Pelargoniums to start blooming in the spring, and they'll keep going strong all season long.
