Pelargonium 'Rimfire'
three regal pelargoniums
- Position: full sun or partial shade
- Soil: fertile, well-drained soil
- Rate of growth: fast growing
- Flowering period: May to November
- Other features: attractive foliage
- Hardiness: tender
Deep red petals, which have an even darker blotch near their base, have a fine salmon pink, picotee edge. Creating an impressive centrepiece for season bedding displays, it can be mixed with deeper plums, rich purples, salmon pinks and silver.
'Rimfire' is available as a collection of three plants in 7.5cm (3in) peat pots. They will be dispatched directly from our specialist grower of rarer pelargoniums. - Garden care: As soon as you receive the collection you will need to pot them up into larger pots or plant them in to their final pots straight away. A great hot tip is to feed your plants every other day with a weak solution of a potash-rich liquid fertiliser, such as Tomorite. You'll be rewarded with masses of flowers throughout the summer on plants about 30-40cm tall.
