Imperial Bute - NEW Regal Pelargonium (Geranium) plant - 6cm bio pot

This is 'Imperial Bute' which has distinctively dramatic lighter purple-lilac edging to it's flower than its parent 'Lord Bute'.  It is a robust variety which has a strong upright habit.

This variety was a sport of the old classic favourite 'Lord Bute' discovered by Ursula Key-Davis and released in 2023.  It was featured on Gardeners World in 2023 as a plant "Mr Pelargonium", David Taylor, was using to hybridise with.

Regal pelargoniums are a diverse, flamboyant and colorful group of plants that stand out from the Zonal types in the pelargonium family. With an impressive range of colors, from deep blacks to pure whites, their flowers are some of the most vibrant in the genus.

Despite their stunning appearance, regal pelargoniums are easy to grow, making them a perfect choice for amateur gardeners. These plants require only frost-free conditions in the winter and benefit from low light and short day conditions, which help them to grow without budding prematurely.

Whether you're a seasoned gardener or a beginner, regal pelargoniums are sure to impress with their striking beauty and ease of care.  We only grow our Pelargoniums (Geraniums) in small batches of different varieties and make some of these plants available for you to buy online. 

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.
