Geranium | Pelargonium Elegance 'Femke'

Pelargonium Elegance ‘Femke’ lights up any garden with clusters of warm coral-salmon blooms, each petal softly veined and deepening into a richer wine-red centre. A medium-compact, bushy Regal Pelargonium prized for its large, beautifully patterned flowers.

Plant & Care

Plant in well-draining soil in sun to semi-shade, leaving enough space for the plant to develop a full, bushy shape. Water regularly during establishment and throughout the warmer, drier months, allowing the soil to dry slightly between watering Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced fertiliser, following the product instructions, to support healthy growth and flowering.  Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage further flowering and maintain a tidy appearance. During Cape Town's wetter winter months, reduce supplementary watering and ensure excess rain can drain freely from the root zone.
