Geranium Regal Martha Washington

Geranium (Interspecific)  jer-AY-nee-um

Regal Martha Washington:  Martha Washington Geraniums, also known as regal geraniums, are a group of geraniums featuring richly colored blooms with petals that resemble velvet. Petals have a lovely ruffled effect that enhances the plant’s luxurious feel. The color range on Martha Washington geranium flowers falls into red-purple shades, including lavender, pink, burgundy and purple. White also appears in the blossom mix, along with a host of wonderfully-painted bicolor blooms. Martha Washington geraniums have somewhat ruffled leaves in a bright green shade. The edges are often toothed and leaves release a citrus fragrance when crushed. These pretty bloomers grow best when air temperatures are below 60°F. Martha Washington geraniums set their flower buds when night temperatures hover in the 50- to 60-degree range. As a result, they’re popular as spring plants, most often bought as gifts for spring holidays, such as Easter or Mother’s Day.
