Zonal Geraniums (or Pelargoniums) are among the very best plants for containers and make a great border display too. Providing good height and incredible colour impact to your summer displays, they bring interest to beds and borders as well as making a perfect centrepiece for baskets and patio containers. Zonals are so named because of the burgundy-coloured half-moon pattern that develops on the upper surface of their leaves, however, it is the strong lollipop-shaped flowers that deservedly capture your attention. Each flower head of Big Ezee contains literally dozens of individual, bright red flowers together making a display that will last and last. They are incredibly strong-growing and vigorous, flowering throughout the whole of the summer months and right through until the autumn. A native of South Africa, geraniums are also incredibly drought tolerant, thriving in any sun-baked container or a sunny bed or border in your garden. Easy to grow and low maintenance - a must for every garden! Supplied as 12 plug plants, ready for potting up and planting out when all risk of frost has passed.
Popular since Victorian times and in those days said to be the Queen's favourite flower, this is a heritage variety with a modern twist as it has benefited from re-selection over the years to make a wonderful garden plant for today. Each extra large flower head opens from appleblossom pink rosebud buds held in a dense cluster, forming a luxurious salmony fully double inflorescence which lasts for many days. The blooms keep coming right through the summer months and well into autumn and contrast perfectly against the bright green faintly zoned foliage. This is the perfect plant for a large patio container and also makes a lovely plant for indoors. Why not enjoy it outdoors for the summer and re-pot for indoors when the weather turns colder. Supplied as 6 plug plants, ready to grow on before planting out.
