Producing its bicoloured flowers in abundance over a long period in summer, this gorgeous pelargonium is practical as well as beautiful as its citrus-scented foliage will also help repel mosquitoes.
Pelargonium Mosquitaway Lizzy is ideal for using as a centrepiece on an alfresco table on a summers evening - or for placing near your picnic on the lawn.
Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.
How to care for Pelargonium Mosquitaway Lizzy ('Floang01') (Mosquitaway Series):
Pot up your pelargoniums, but only place them outside in the garden after the risk of frost has passed. Remove the spent flowers as they fade, and keep them well fed using a dilute solution of a high-potash liquid fertiliser (Tomorite is ideal) at regular intervals.
If you want to keep them over the winter, move them to a frost free environment and avoid overwatering during the colder months.
