Gemma - Coloured Leaved Zonal Pelargonium (Geranium) Plant - 6cm pot

Gemma is a wonderful plant that produces single flowers of pale rose with red spots and splashes. The leaves are an interesting golden green which makes for a very interesting plant.

These fancy-leaf Zonal Pelargoniums (Geraniums) are primarily grown for their remarkable foliage that really sets them apart from others. They are particularly interesting and diverse in their colouring with most of their original forms of coloured and fancy leaved Pelargoniums (Geraniums) were created by mutations.

In Victorian times the flowers of coloured and fancy leaved Pelargoniums (Geraniums) were often removed so the decorative displays of their leaves were not interrupted. 

They are not as easy to grow as many of their other Zonal counterparts but can be very rewarding in the displays they display.  We only grow small batch of Pelargoniums but we have made some plants available to buy from our collection.

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.
