Overview
The Angel hybrid group are a cross between Scented and Regal Pelargonium. These are a wonderful group, they have a bushy shape, small rounded leaves and masses of clusters of flowers.
The flower colour varies from whites, pinks purples and red with many of the flowers consisting of a mix of colours. The flower shape is closest to a Regal it has a very similar shape to a Pansy.
The mass of flowers through spring an early summer make these a great addition to garden beds as well as pots and hanging baskets.
Soil: Well drained fertile soil
Maintenance: During the flowering season it is important to remove all the dead flowerheads to encourage new flowers to form. Pelargonium grow best when the soil is allowed to dry out between waterings. A regular fortnightly dose of liquid fertiliser whilst soil is wet during spring and summer will also encourage more flower production.
Tend to be frost tender. In areas susceptible to frosts - cut back by a third and move plants into dry frost free conditions before the first frost. In frost-free areas the plants can be left outside and may continue to flower (although less prolifically) during winter. Prune by a third at the end of winter before the new growth get going.
Diseases: Pelargoniums are susceptible to many diseases and pests including Rust, whitefly, aphids, caterpillars, Vine Weevil, and Grey Mould
Other Species: There are six main groups of Pelargonium Hybrids: Angel, Ivy-Leaved, Regal, Scented Leaved, Unique and Zonal.
