Description
The 'Mrs Wren' zonal geranium offers single flowers that appear to have been hand-painted. They are red with an irregular white edge. Clustered at the end of the stems, they are enhanced by evergreen foliage of a beautiful bright green. You will appreciate its ease of cultivation and its generosity. Frost-sensitive, this plant can be grown as an annual or protected from frost until the following spring. Don't miss out on this beautiful plant for containers and borders!
From the Geraniaceae family, zonal geraniums are perennial hybrids grouped under the botanical name Pelargonium x hortorum. They are mostly cultivars resulting from cross-breeding several Pelargonium species native to southeastern Africa. The 'Mrs Wren' geranium is an old variety selected for its original colour and robustness. It forms a bushy and dense clump with a rounded habit, reaching up to 50 cm in all directions. Its flowering period lasts from May to June until the first frost. Its sturdy and succulent stems bear rounded, weakly lobed leaves, slightly tomentose and of an elegant bright green. They serve as a backdrop for clusters of single flowers, red with white edges.
Traditionally used in hanging baskets, geraniums also naturally find their place in beds, borders, and sunny flower beds. Pair your 'Mrs Wren' zonal geranium with Endurascape Lava Red verbenas with magnificent vermilion-red flowers and Anabel Snow White lobelias with numerous small white flowers. To complete the composition and add depth, consider an Illusion Midnight Lace morning glory with almost black foliage.
Note: Please be aware that our plug plants are professional products intended for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant and store them in a sheltered location (veranda, greenhouse, cold frame...) at a temperature above 14°C for a few weeks before being planted outdoors once the risk of frost has definitively passed.

Planting and care
The 'Mrs Wren' zonal geranium appreciates sunny exposure in well-drained and well-tilled soil. As a heavy feeder, the geranium requires regular fertilisation at planting and every two weeks afterwards. It can be grown in pots or the ground. In regions with a mild climate, you can plant them in pots as early as March-April and bring them indoors in case of frosts. Elsewhere, wait until all risk of frost has passed to grow them. Choose a special geranium potting soil for planting in pots or flower boxes. Remove faded flowers as they appear to prolong the flowering period. Being frost-sensitive, it is generally grown as an annual. It can be stored in a frost-free location or protected from the cold (using winter protection fabric, preferably in mild climates) until the following spring.

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.
