Pelargonium Elegance Jeanette

Common Name:
Pelargonium 'Elegance Jeanette'

Description:
Pelargonium 'Elegance Jeanette' is a captivating Regal Pelargonium variety, admired for its large, pansy-like blooms that feature dark wine-red upper petals edged with white, while the lower petals are white with a hint of pink. Flowering prolifically from spring through autumn, this compact and bushy plant thrives in full sun to part shade and well-draining soil. Ideal for garden beds, borders, and pots, 'Elegance Jeanette' adds a touch of elegance and vibrant colour to outdoor spaces.
