Muscata trandafir - Pelargonium Royal Rosebud 'Red Pandora'

Pelargonium Royal Rosebud 'Red Pandora' is a variety of rose geranium (Pelargonium) in the "Rosebud" or "Tulip-flowered" group, so named because of the distinctive shape of its flowers, which resemble rosebuds or tulips. Unlike common zonal geraniums, whose flowers open fully, the flowers of "rosebud" varieties remain partially closed, giving a dense and elegant appearance.

Description:

• Flowers: The main feature of 'Red Pandora' is its unique flower shape. These are semi-double to double , with the petals tightly packed, forming small "bouquets" reminiscent of rose buds or tulips. The flowers are grouped in dense, umbrella-like inflorescences, and bloom profusely over a long period, from spring to late autumn.
• Leaves: The leaves are dark green, glossy, with a rich texture that creates a nice contrast with the red flowers. They are usually zonal, meaning they may have a darker area in the center of the leaf.
• Habit: It has an erect and compact habit, although it can also be a good specimen for containers, where it will display its flowers beautifully. It is considered a vigorous growing plant.
• Dimensions: Reaches an average height of approximately 30-40 cm.
• Winter hardiness: It is not frost resistant and is grown as an annual plant in cold climates or must be wintered indoors, in a bright and cool place.

Key features:

• "Rosebud" or "tulip-flowered" flowers: This is the defining characteristic of the variety, offering a special and elegant appearance, distinct from traditional geraniums.
• Long flowering period: Blooms continuously throughout the warm season.
• Suitable for arrangements: The flowers, once cut (if the knotty base of the stem is removed), hold up well in water, making them excellent for bouquets and floral arrangements.
• Easy to maintain: Similar to most pelargoniums, it is a relatively easy plant to grow, preferring sun and well-drained soil.

Care and requirements:

It requires a sunny location, with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day, and well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. Watering should be moderate, keeping the soil slightly moist, with breaks between sessions to avoid excess water. It is resistant to rain, but sensitive to temperatures below 5°C, requiring winter protection (moving indoors or storing in a cool, dry place). Removing wilted flowers stimulates continuous flowering.

The color of the flowers may vary slightly depending on location and light conditions. This variety is appreciated for its stability in cultivation and its ability to withstand difficult conditions.

Pelargonium 'Red Pandora' is an excellent choice for those who want a geranium with a unique appearance and spectacular flowering, bringing extra refinement and color to balconies, terraces or gardens.

❗ Note : Due to international shipping and adaptation to the new environment, geranium leaves may show defects or may lose some of their leaves. These changes are normal and temporary and do not affect the overall health of the plant. The plants grow quickly and recover easily if given optimal conditions.

The plant may arrive to you with or without flowers , but it is capable of blooming throughout the summer.
