Description
This Geranium or Pelargonium 'Mosquitaway Lizzy' is an irresistible new variety, combining abundant and brightly coloured flowering with aromatic foliage. The plant is as attractive for its numerous small bicoloured single flowers, with a pinkish-white base maculated with purple-violet, as it is for its astonishingly crisp green tender foliage, which has a lemony scent that is said to repel mosquitoes. In any case, it's bright and long flowering period is a permanent decoration outdoors or in the veranda. Another delicious and easy-to-grow Pelargonium that one needs to protect from frost to find it intact in the spring.
Florist's Pelargoniums are perennial hybrids of the Geraniaceae family, in a large group called Pelargonium x domesticum. They are mostly derived from Pelargonium cucullatum, native to the southwest of the Cape Province in South Africa, with the contribution of various wild species. The 'Angel' type geranium group, which originated in the 1930s, brings together plants resulting from various crosses between Pelargonium crispum (with aromatic foliage) and florist's Pelargoniums, which are very floriferous. The Mosquitaway geranium, which is part of this group of hybrids, is a very recent variety that combines many qualities. It comes in two varieties, 'Eva' and 'Lizzy'. The plant forms a bushy and dense clump with a compact habit, medium-sized, about 35 cm (14in) tall and 30 cm (12in) wide. It produces a mass of single flowers from June to October. In 'Lizzy', each flower consists of two upper petals maculated with velvety violet, and three lower petals of a very pale pink. Its succulent stems bear small round leaves, quite thick, deeply veined, light green in colour. Their scent is reminiscent of lemon.
Florist's geraniums create lasting and cheerful displays throughout the summer. They prefer semi-shaded positions and coolness. These plants tolerate lack of light quite well, which allows them to be associated with hostas, ferns, impatiens, lobelias in incredible blues, or begonias. Create magnificent pots and hanging baskets by combining colours and foliage, either solid or variegated. The 'Mosquitaway Lizzy' variety can be a magnificent specimen in a veranda or in the house, throughout the year, especially when flowering is scarce, in winter.
Note: Please be aware that our young plug plants are professional products reserved for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant and store them under cover (veranda, greenhouse, frame...) at a temperature above 14C° for a few weeks before being installed outdoors once the risk of frost is definitively eliminated.

Planting and care
The 'Angel' florist geraniums thrive in fertile, well-drained, neutral to limestone soils, well-tilled and in partial shade. Geraniums are greedy plants that require regular fertiliser inputs to give their best performance.
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 risk, 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 compost.
In the garden, wait until the end of April or even mid-May in the northernmost regions to plant them in the open 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.
