Pelargonium Icecrystal
Pelargonium hortorum Icecrystal
Zonal geranium, Garden geranium
Very small but very persistent plants. They will grow bigger. I have planted them all, and those that are meant for the cemetery are growing, I have put them in foster care for a few weeks before delivering them to nature, where the nights are cool.

Description
Pelargonium 'Icecrystal' bears beautiful semi-double flowers, with each lavender petal marked with a central pink-purple spot. They are gathered in bouquets on a vigorous perennial plant with a compact and round habit. Its healthy foliage is bright green shaded with a large burgundy red zone. With its floral roundness, this perennial plant is a gem for small gardens, hanging baskets, and planters.
Zonal pelargoniums are perennial hybrids from the Geraniaceae family, in a large group called Pelargonium x hortorum. They are mostly derived from P. inquinans, native to the southeast tip of Africa, with contributions from P. zonale and P. frutetorum. 'Icecrystal' forms a medium-sized bushy and upright clump with a fairly compact habit, reaching a height of 30 to 35cm (12 to 14in) and slightly less in width. It flowers from spring to autumn, displaying large heads composed of medium-sized, vibrant bicoloured flowers. They contrast nicely with the bright green foliage. Each leaf is adorned with a large brown-red halo. Its sturdy and succulent stems bear circular, undulate leaves with toothed edges and a thick texture.
Once reserved for balconies and patios, pelargoniums are making a noticeable entrance into sunny flower beds and borders. Plant them en masse to create a lasting and vibrant display throughout summer. These plants tolerate water scarcity quite well, allowing them to be combined with garden verbenas, blue lobelias, and black or purple-leaved ipomoeas (Ipomoea Illusion 'Midnight Lace', I. Sweet Heart 'Purple'). Create magnificent pots and hanging baskets by combining them with bright pink or red varieties, Million Bells, variegated periwinkles, Dichondra 'Silver Falls', violets, and calibrachoas.
Please be aware that our young plug plants are professional products intended for experienced gardeners. Upon receipt, repot and store them under cover (veranda, greenhouse, cold frame) at a temperature above 14°C (57.2°F) for a few weeks before planting them outdoors, once the risk of frost has definitely passed.

Planting and care
Zonal geraniums thrive in fertile, well-drained, well-prepared, neutral to alkaline soils. They love full sun. Geraniums are hungry plants, which require regular fertiliser inputs to give their best performance. You can plant pelargoniums as early as March-April in regions with mild climates, but you will need to bring them indoors in case of frost. To avoid any risk, wait until all danger of frost has passed before placing them outside. When planting in pots or containers, use special geranium compost. In the garden, wait until late April or even mid-May to plant them in open ground, and provide a special geranium growing support for 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.
