Pelargonium peltatum Corriente are one of the best trailing geraniums for summer baskets and containers. The two-toned blooms of Pelargonium peltatum Corriente Pink Bicolour are sure to set the garden aglow for up to 6 months each year. A new twist on the traditional favourite, Pelargonium peltatum ‘Corriente Pink Bicolor’ shows its decadent semi-double blooms above thick, glossy evergreen, ivy-shaped foliage. This is a dramatic bicoloured beauty with pastel pink and white frills edged with a deeper shade of magenta. Enjoy its exquisite display from May to October as the semi-trailing foliage spills over the edges of your borders, baskets and containers by as much as 50cm. Pelargoniums are amazingly drought tolerant, preferring to be grown in well-drained soil of any kind. Plant in a spot which enjoys full sun or partial shade, and they will reach a height and spread of approximately 35cm. Although plants are tender perennials, they can be overwintered in a greenhouse or conservatory then reinvigorated the following season.
