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.
Pelargonium ‘Snowbright’ is a Stellar pelargonium with a compact habit and pale pink flowers flecked with darker pink. Stellar Pelargoniums were bred in the 1970s in Australia, and come in a range of flower shapes and colours, and flower for several months.
For best results, feed with a high potash fertiliser during summer and deadhead spent blooms regularly. Bring plants indoors for winter.
