Geranium ‘Horizon Deep Salmon’ (Bedding Geranium, 3x9cm Plants)

Tender bedding plants with large globes of deep salmon-pink flowers over a long period in summer

Three Plants in 9cm Containers

Description

Geranium ‘Horizon Deep Salmon’ is a prolific, free-flowering tender perennial (usually grown as an annual) that brings an elegant torrent of rich, warm colour to summer gardens. It forms a beautifully compact, uniform mound of rich green leaves featuring dark chocolate “zonal” ring patterns that offer great visual structure. Its salmon-pink globes of flower, held on sturdy stems just proud of the foliage, keep coming over a long time in summer – often up until the first frosts. We value them as they are highly weather-resistant and take whatever summer can throw at them (no small feat with the heat we’ve had so far this year) and looks spectacular when massed in sunny borders, hanging baskets, or patio planters.

Growing Advice

Geranium ‘Horizon Deep Salmon’ prefers a bright position in full sun but will also grow and flower in partial shade. It prefers fertile, moderately rich, well-drained soil and reacts poorly to waterlogged potting compost. This variety is a great performer in summer patio pots, window boxes, or at the front of sunny mixed bedding borders. It’s long-flowering, provided you keep it deadheaded – with this like other geraniums just snap off the flower heads near the base of the plant once the flowers are over. It can be overwintered if given protection in winter (it isn’t hardy) but is often best treated as an annual to get the most from it.

Before ordering with us please make sure you read the pages below to help you understand what to expect when buying plants online from a nursery such as ours. For instance the photographs in our listings are intended to give you an impression of our plants in their mature (and usually flowering) form. The last photograph in this listing provides an indication of the size of the plant to expect when you buy from us. It is not a guarantee of the way the top growth will look when you receive the plant(s), as this will depend on the time of the season you have ordered the plant and it simply isn’t possible to provide photographs of the plants at every stage of growth during the year. Plants ordered in spring, autumn or winter for example may have much reduced or tired top growth that will regrow later in the season / the following season and you should be aware of this when ordering at these times. If you have any questions about the current condition of any of our plants please do get in touch, or see the links below for more information about what to expect.
