Pelargonium 'Orange Fizz'
geranium 'Orange Fizz'
Pelargonium 'Orange Fizz' gets its name from its lobed, zesty orange-scented leaves, rather than its flower colour. The plant produces pink and purple blooms with purple markings on the upper petals throughout the spring and summer.
Scented pelargoniums thrive in well-drained soil and are perfect for patio containers and borders and also make great conservatory plants where they should be placed in a spot with plenty of light, such as a south or west-facing outlook. To enjoy the fragrance throughout your home, place a few leaves in a bowl of water and allow the citrusy scent to circulate.

How to care for Pelargonium Orange Fizz:
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.
