Description

Pelargonium ardens

Pelargonium ardens is a striking and compact perennial, prized for its vivid, deep scarlet flowers that appear in clusters atop slender stems. Growing to a height of around 30-40 cm (12-16 inches), this plant features velvety, dark green leaves with a slightly rounded or lobed shape, adding texture to its overall appearance.

Pelargonium ardens blooms from late spring to summer, producing bold, fiery-red blossoms that create a stunning contrast against its foliage. Its upright and slightly spreading growth habit makes it ideal for containers, borders, or as a focal point in garden beds. Although not frost-hardy, it can be overwintered indoors in colder climates.

This pelargonium prefers well-drained soil and thrives in full sun or partial shade, making it perfect for a variety of garden settings. With regular deadheading, it will continue to bloom prolifically throughout the growing season. Pelargonium ardens is a wonderful choice for gardeners seeking an eye-catching, easy-to-care-for plant that delivers vibrant color.
