Geranium, variegated, double pink and white flowers.
This variegated Geranium has attractive apple green leaves with cream crimped edge, and the flowers are double pink and white. I have seen a variegated Geranium with red single flowers. This one is unusual and very beautiful.
Name: Chelsea Gem.
I have had one growing in a pot for years happily, and does well in the ground also like most Geraniums.
Geraniums rather like the sun, and in a warm spot outside. perhaps under the eaves on the sunny side of the house, can grow through the winter .
This little plant is 14cms high and should double its height this year and throw out side shoots too. It should flower for you as well.
The plant for sale is in the blue pot.
I have not seen it for sale in nurseries.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.
Thanks for looking.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
