Description
The Balcony Lilac Ivy Geranium is an incredibly generous plant that produces clusters of single, lilac-pink flowers on numerous flexible stems from May to November. Its trailing habit, ability to withstand bad weather, and easy maintenance make this plant the queen of balconies. They can tolerate the heat of summer where other plants might fail. These versatile geraniums thrive in both partial shade and full sun and can also tolerate cooler temperatures. You can create beautiful displays by mixing different colours.
Ivy geraniums are a type of plant that comes from Pelargonium peltatum, which belongs to the geranium family. This species is naturally found in the coastal region of the Cape Province in South Africa and has the ability to form creeping or spreading stems with foliage resembling that of ivy. The ivy geranium hybrids we know today exhibit the same trailing habit and increased abundance of flowers. The Balcony Lilac variety of ivy geraniums grows as a round, trailing clump that reaches a height of 20 cm (7.9 in). It is composed of numerous flexible stems adorned with bright green, five-pointed lobed foliage. The leaves are circular, slightly fleshy, and aromatic with a peltate shape. The plant produces an abundant amount of flowers that last from May until the first frost. The single, asymmetrical flowers are intensely pink with narrow petals.
Ivy geraniums are wonderful plants that can be used to decorate pots and balconies for most of the year. They have a heavy cascading growth habit that creates colourful masses of single flowers. These masses can blend with other plants such as purple or chocolate-foliaged Ipomoeas (Ipomoea Illusion Midnight Lace, Ipomoea Sweet Heart Purple) that trail down, or upright plants like zonal geraniums, petunias, gauras, or fuchsias.
Please note that our young plug plants are professional products meant for experienced gardeners. Upon receiving them, it is important to repot and store them in a sheltered location such as a veranda, greenhouse or cold frame, at a temperature above 14°C for a few weeks before planting them outdoors. This will allow them to adapt to their new environment and ensure they are better equipped to withstand any potential frost.

Planting and care
You can grow Ivy Geraniums in either the ground or pots. For outdoor planting, waiting until the last heavy frosts have passed is advisable. However, you can pre-cultivate them in pots in a warm, bright place to speed up their growth. Geraniums generally bloom from June to October. Choose a sunny or partially shaded spot sheltered from the wind when planting. Geraniums thrive in well-draining, light, and humus-rich soil. Avoid overwatering them during the initial growing season, as they are sensitive to excess moisture. Although they can withstand drought well, they require regular watering during hot summer periods. Geraniums are susceptible to frost (minimum -2°C).
As they are fast-growing and highly floriferous, Ivy Geraniums require frequent feeding. Feeding them with a liquid geranium fertiliser once or twice a week during the growing season is recommended. Ensure to remove faded flowers and dry leaves as they appear to keep the plant looking attractive and prolong flowering.

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.
