Pelargonium grandiflorum ‘Don Tequila’ - muscata englezeasca cu flori mari
Pelargonium grandiflorum, commonly known as English geranium or large-flowered geranium, is one of the most spectacular varieties of pelargonium, appreciated for its large, brightly colored, and often bicolored flowers. Its elegant appearance and abundant blooming make it an excellent choice for bright windowsills, balconies, terraces, or sheltered garden corners, where it can quickly bring a rich and refined decorative effect.
Unlike classic geraniums, Pelargonium grandiflorum impresses with its larger and more expressive flowers, with an almost aristocratic look. It blooms generously from spring until late autumn, and the flowering period can be extended if the plant is moved to a sheltered place when temperatures start to drop.
