Geranium 'Tangerine'

Pelargonium hyb.
Tangerine' is one of the prettiest cactus-flowered forms. It is a vintage variety admired by geranium expert Helen Van Pelt Wilson and already in commerce before her 1965 book, The Joy of Geraniums. The touseled petals are a rich vermilion, and the leaves are deep green with a russet ring. Rare and special and ours exclusively.

PLACEMENT & CULTIVATION
Geraniums traveled from South Africa and were cultivated and marveled over in glasshouses by the early 1600s. We still love them for their varied, beautiful leaves and flower colors. Provide well-drained soils and allow the soil to dry before watering thoroughly. Deadhead spent flowers regularly and provide some afternoon shade in hot summer areas. If overwintering indoors, prune to 6" from the base with a clean knife in late winter to early spring.
Final Spacing:
1.5'
Water Requirements:
Low Water Use
Watering Details:
Water when soil is dry 2" down into pot. Geraniums suffer if the soil stays saturated with water, so water only after soil has dried.
Soil pH:
Prefers neutral.
Fertilizer:
Fertilize twice a month with a balanced formulation such as 15-15-15.
Diseases & Pests:
Aphids and mealybugs can be troublesome; if detected, treat with an insecticidal soap or neem oil. Avoid botrytis or gray mold by spacing properly, not wetting the foliage when watering, and keeping dead plant material, such as spent flowers and leaves, cleaned up.
