Thompson and Morgan Geranium Black Velvet Mix Seed Packet

Enhance your garden's allure with Pelargonium Black Velvet Mix F1, an extraordinary blend that captivates the senses with its striking contrast of deep, dark foliage and vibrant blooms. This stunning mix showcases four unique colours: soft appleblossom, bold red, classic rose, and warm salmon, all beautifully highlighted by the dramatic black-tinged leaves. Perfect for pots, borders, or bedding displays, this combination injects a pop of flair into patios and outdoor spaces. Although technically a perennial, Black Velvet Mix is considered half-hardy and is usually treated as an annual. With some tender care, it can thrive year after year in a frost-free greenhouse, making it a reliable choice for gardeners of every skill level. Growing guidelines are straightforward: for optimal flowering and foliage colour, provide full sun. During germination, maintain a temperature between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius. Keep the soil moist but never waterlogged, especially at the germination stage, and apply a balanced fertiliser once the plants are established. Moderate humidity with good air circulation helps prevent fungal issues. Each flower type is a delight: the soft pink appleblossom complements the dark foliage, the vibrant red blooms enhance the striking leaves, the classic rose tones add elegance, and the warm salmon flowers provide a gentle contrast.
