Confusingly known as geraniums, pelargoniums are in the same plant family as hardy geraniums, but fall into a different genus and bear no resemblance to them at all. They are normally grown as annual bedding plants although they can be overwintered indoors, and are prized for their bright summer flowers and attractive, often fragrant, foliage.

Pelargoniums come in a variety of forms, and most belong to one of the following horticultural groups: Angel, Ivy-leaved, Regal, Scented-leaved, Unique and Zonal. All thrive in full sun and do best when grown in a sheltered, sunny spot. They make the perfect plants for growing in containers on the patio, especially as they are frost tender and require bringing indoors over winter.

Pelargonium ‘Frank Headley’ is a reliable old fancy-leaved pelargonium, with pink flowers contrasting silvery green, variegated foliage.
