- Garden care: 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. Pinch back tips of shoots in spring or early summer.
A real zingy, citrus-scented pelargonium with crinkled, lime-green leaves. 'Lemon Fizz' also bears long-lived clusters of pretty pink flowers with a darker centre and makes for an easy to look after houseplant or aromatic, summer patio plant for pots and containers. Overwinter in a conservatory or brightly lit windowsill.
