Description
Pelargonium 'F2 Scarlet' is a tender perennial, often grown as an annual in colder climates. It forms a small, compact bush with round, marbled, dark green foliage which is covered for a very long time with scarlet red flowers. Ideal for pots, containers and hanging baskets, or sunny borders and beds in light, well-drained, fertile soil.
Geranium x hortorum or zonal pelargoniums belong to the Geraniaceae family. They are selected from various parent species including Pelargonium inquinans, native to the south-eastern tip of Africa, Pelargonium zonale and Pelargonium frutetorum. 'F2 Scarlet' forms a small, compact bush, 35 cm high and 30 cm wide, with sturdy green to light brown succulent stems covered with round, velvety, wavy green leaves, enhanced with dark markings. From June to October, single scarlet red blooms appear above the foliage, gathered in clusters.
Often grown in pots, window boxes and containers on balconies and patios, pelargoniums are becoming an increasingly popular choice for sunny flowerbeds and borders. The advantage of sowing pelargoniums is one can grow a large number of plants at a much lower cost. Perfect for growing them en masse for a long-lasting, cheerful display all summer long. The plants are fairly drought tolerant. They combine well with verbenas, blue lobelias, morning glory with black or purple foliage (Ipomea 'Illusion Midnight Lace', Ipomea 'Sweet Heart Purple').

Planting and care
Direct sow in April-May, after all risk of frost is over. Choose a sunny spot with well-drained, loose soil. Sow the seeds thinly, 3mm deep, 30 cm apart. Water regularly, especially during dry spells. Germination usually takes about 20 days. When the plants are strong enough to handle, transplant them 15 cm apart. Another alternative is to sow pelargoniums indoors from August to September for blooms in early summer the following year. Sow the seeds on the surface of good quality soil at a temperature of 18-20°C, and cover with a pinch of very fine compost or vermiculite. Keep in a light place to encourage germination. When the seedlings are strong enough to be moved, transplant and grow them in a cool place until they can be moved outside. Keep your plants in a frost-free room before planting out the following spring. Pelargoniums thrive in fertile, well-drained, well loosened soils with plenty of sun.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
