Description
The Pelargonium 'Cynthia' is a variety of florist's geranium with absolutely stunning large flowers in shades of pink. The plant forms a small, upright and bushy shrub adorned throughout the summer with large flowers in a light and fresh pink, speckled with purple and veined with fuchsia. Its beautiful fan-shaped foliage emits a typical geranium scent when touched. Truly a very pretty plant for decorating flower beds and potted plants.
Florist's pelargoniums, also known as large-flowered geraniums or pansy geraniums, are perennial hybrids in the geranium family, classified under the broad group of Pelargonium x domesticum, Pelargonium x grandiflorum or Regal Pelargoniums. These hybrids, with a complex lineage, are mostly derived from Pelargonium cucculatum, native to the southeastern tip of Africa, with contributions from Pelargonium diadematum and the large-flowered pelargonium, known in Latin as Pelargonium grandiflorum, which has bequeathed its large corollas to 'Cynthia'.
The 'Cynthia' geranium forms a bushy clump with a regular habit, of medium size, reaching about 40 cm (16in) in height and 30-35 cm (12-14in) in width. It is in bloom from June-July until September. The plant displays large corollas with 6 wide undulate petals arranged in a helix, very open. They are pink, finely veined with a deep pink around a beautiful basal spot, bordered by fuchsia pink. This contrasting macule gives relief to the flower while accentuating the delicacy of its colour. The flowers are gathered in rounded bunches, well highlighted by a dense, bright green foliage. The sturdy and succulent stems of this geranium bear large circular, pleated leaves with toothed edges and a thick, aromatic, and very healthy texture. The plant, sensitive to frost, should be sheltered from cold weather in winter.
Once reserved for balconies and terraces, pelargoniums are now making a very noticeable entrance in sunny flower beds and borders. Plant them in masses to create a long-lasting and cheerful display throughout the beautiful season. These plants tolerate drought quite well, allowing them to be associated with garden verbenas, bacopas, and nemesis, for example. Create magnificent pots and hanging baskets by combining them with white, bright pink, or red flowering plants, Million Bells, variegated periwinkles, Dichondra 'Silver Falls', violets, and calibrachoas.
Note: Our plug plants are professional products reserved for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant and store them under shelter (veranda, greenhouse, frame) at a temperature above 14°C (57.2°F) for a few weeks before being placed outdoors once the risk of frost has definitively passed.

Planting and care
The Cynthia geraniums thrive in fertile, well-drained and well-tilled soil. Plant them in full sun in the North, but prefer a light shade in the afternoons in our very hot and sunny regions. Geraniums are hungry plants that require regular fertiliser inputs to give the best of themselves. In the ground, they tolerate water shortages quite well.
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 be on the safe side, wait until the end of frost to place them outside, usually around May in the North. When planting in pots or containers, use special geranium potting soil.
In the garden, wait until the end of April, or even mid-May in the northernmost regions, to plant them in the ground and provide your soil with a special geranium growing medium.

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.
