A stunning pelargonium with purple-black blooms, each petal edged with paler purple, 'Lord Bute' is an older regal variety, but still one of the best available. Terrific as a summer bedding plant, it can also be grown in a container, flowering profusely from late spring until the first frosts. This set includes one plant with our dark rust galvanised trough to create a striking patio display (L43cm x W26cm x H21cm).


  • Garden care:
    Pot up in free-draining compost and grow them on in a bright, frost-free spot. Move plants outside only after all risk of frost has passed, placing them in a sunny, sheltered position. Water regularly, allowing the surface to dry slightly between waterings, as they dislike being constantly wet. Remove faded flowers and yellowing leaves to keep plants tidy and to encourage more blooms.

    Feed every couple of weeks through the growing season with a dilute high-potash fertiliser such as Tomorite to support flowering. Pinch back leggy growth to maintain a bushy shape, and bring plants back indoors before autumn frosts if you wish to overwinter them.
