Westdale Appleblossom produces delightful pink and white double blossom-like flower against a backdrop of variegated silver and green foliage.  This really stands out as an unusual Rosebud variety that is very slow growing so do not over pot it. 

 

Rosebud Pelargoniums first appeared by a spontaneous mutation around 1850.  Swiftly gaining popularity the flowers were often used for floral arrangements as well as buttonholes. They are a type of Zonal Pelargoniums (Geraniums) which have a bushy habit and fleshy stems.  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.

How to care for your plant:

This plant is slow growing because it is so variegated, do not over pot it.

Remove dead flowers regularly and feed once a week with a high potash feed (a good tomato feed will do it!) to encourage a better & longer flowering season.
Water well, then allow compost to dry before watering again.
