Appleblossom Rosebud has tight heads of double flowers that are white with a edge of pink and red to them.  Rosebuds are Zonal Pelargoniums (Geraniums) which have a bushy habit and fleshy stems.

Rosebud Pelargonium first appeared by a spontaneous mutation around 1850.  Swiftly gaining popularity the flowers were often used for floral arrangements as well as buttonholes.  After falling out of fashion for a while the Rosebud varieties seem to be picking up in popularity once again with some interesting developments happening hybridisers.  

 

These plants are supplied in a 6cm biodegradable pot which you can put straight into the pot or location you wish.  As time goes on the pot will simply compost down and the plant will happily grow on.
