Description
The Pelargonium 'Bermuda Merlot' reinterprets the florist's geranium with its large symmetrical, bicoloured and fringed flowers, which somewhat resemble the flowers of pansies or gloxinias. Of a vibrant purple colour, they open up to a wide white throat finely edged with magenta pink. The plant blooms very early in the season and its flowers continue to appear for a long period on its beautiful bright green fan-shaped foliage. A bushy and compact variety, ideal for small gardens, verandas, hanging baskets and planters.
Florist pelargoniums, also known as large-flowered geraniums or pansy geraniums, are perennial hybrids of the geranium family, belonging to a broad group called Pelargonium x domesticum, Pelargonium x grandiflorum or Pelargonium 'Regal'. These hybrids, with complex ancestry, are mostly derived from Pelargonium cucculatum, native to the southeastern tip of Africa, with contributions from other species like Pelargonium diadematum and the large-flowered pelargonium, Pelargonium grandiflorum, which bequeathed them their large corollas.
The 'Bermuda Merlot' geranium forms a bushy clump with a fairly compact habit, reaching a minimum size of 30 cm (12in) in all directions. It blooms very early in spring, if protected from the cold, and continues flowering until autumn. The plant is covered with bicoloured and flat flowers (8 cm (3in) in diameter), with a satin texture, featuring intense purple petals with a white centre, very wide and with highly undulated edges. Its sturdy and succulent stems bear large circular leaves, pleated, with toothed edges and a thick texture, in a vibrant green colour, very healthy.
Once reserved for balconies and terraces, pelargoniums are now making a remarkable entry into sunny flowerbeds and borders. Plant them in masses to create a lasting and cheerful display throughout the summer. These plants tolerate water scarcity quite well, allowing them to be paired with garden verbenas, lobelias in extraordinary blues, and black or purple-leaved ipomoeas (Ipomoea Illusion Midnight Lace, Ipomoea Sweet Heart Purple). Create beautiful pots and hanging baskets by combining them with bright pink or red varieties, Million Bells, variegated periwinkles, Dichondra Silver Falls, violets, and calibrachoas.
Note: Please be aware that our plug plants are professional products intended for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant and store them in sheltered areas (veranda, greenhouse, cold frame) at temperatures above 14°C (57.2°F) for a few weeks before planting them outdoors once the risk of frost has passed.

Planting and care
Florist geraniums thrive in fertile, well-drained, neutral to alkaline soils, well-tilled and in full sun. Geraniums are demanding plants that require regular fertiliser inputs to give their best.
You can plant pelargoniums as early as March-April in mild climate regions, but you will need to bring them indoors in case of frost. To avoid any risks, wait until the end of frost before placing them outside, usually around May in northern Europe. When planting in pots or containers, use special geranium compost.
In the garden, wait until late April or even mid-May in the northernmost regions to plant them in the ground and provide a special geranium growing support to your soil.

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.
