Detailed Description:

• Flowers: The essential feature of 'DR. MARGRETHE' is its double, dense flowers, which maintain a compact shape, resembling a rosebud or a miniature tulip, even when fully open. This variety is known for its rich and deep shades, adding a touch of elegance. The flowers are grouped in round, full clusters, offering a continuous and abundant display throughout the warm season, from spring to late autumn.
• Leaves: The leaves are medium to dark green, typical of zonal geraniums, with a zone (a darker ring). They are round, slightly lobed, and have a soft texture, creating a beautiful backdrop for the dense flowers.
• Habit: The plant has an upright and compact habit, developing a well-branched and dense bush. This growth makes it excellent for growing in pots, window boxes, or as a centerpiece in mixed arrangements, maintaining a neat and sturdy appearance.
• Size: 'DR. MARGRETHE' generally reaches a height of about 30-45 cm and a similar width, being a medium-sized plant, versatile in various gardening contexts.

Care and Requirements:

It requires a sunny spot with at least 6 hours of direct daily light and well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. Watering should be moderate, keeping the soil slightly moist, with breaks between sessions to avoid overwatering. It is rain-resistant but sensitive to temperatures below 5°C, needing winter protection (moving indoors or storing in a cool, dry place). Removing wilted flowers encourages continuous blooming.

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

❗Note: Due to international transport and adaptation to the new environment, geranium leaves may show small defects or partially fall off. 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.
