Stunning Chocolate Foliage and Soft Pink Blooms!
A 2002 All America Selection!
The Geranium garden just got a lot more exciting! This one-of-a-kind Pelargonium sports lobed, serrated leaves of nearly solid chocolate-brown, broken only by a crisp green edging. Lovely from the moment the foliage emerges in spring, in summer it becomes even more striking with masses of small, bowl-shaped rosy-pink blooms! One look at Black Velvet Rose will show you why it won a 2002 AAS award! The foliage is not only colorful but so fresh and pertly held, complementing the blooms yet showy enough to stand alone. This plant reaches 10 to 14 inches tall and 14 to 18 inches wide -- the perfect size for a series of large pots marching up the porch steps, a colorful windowbox, or a low-hanging basket on the patio! It's great in the garden, too, offering lovely highlights from spring through fall. A sun-lover, Black Velvet Rose takes a bit longer to flower than many Pelargoniums -- give it about 18 weeks from sowing. (Shucks! Nothing to do but admire all that luscious foliage!) Once it begins to flower, however, there's no stopping it! Like all Pelargoniums, it appreciates a good feed, and I recommend Algoflash, an incredible liquid fertilizer that made its name helping gardeners grow stupendous Geraniums! Pkt is 10 seeds.
