Bob Newing was raised by Andrew Simmons, 2005. This variety is actually a miniature Stellar Pelargonium but packs a massive punch of colour with its silver tri-coloured leaves that have a very pronounced pink/red zone on them and also pretty orange-red single flowers.

 

Stellar Pelargoniums were bred in Australia during the 1970s, which mean these plants are a relatively recent addition to the world of Pelargoniums, but they've already captured the hearts of plant lovers everywhere.

With their delicate foliage and stunning flowers, Stellar Pelargoniums (Geraniums) are unlike anything that came before them. Their range of flower shapes and colors is truly breathtaking - you'll find everything from vibrant reds and pinks to soft pastels and creamy whites. These plants are true blooming machines, with some producing as many as twenty blooms (bursting out like fireworks or starbursts on a single, modest plant!

Despite their delicate appearance, Stellar Pelargoniums are tough and resilient, making them an ideal choice for container gardens or as summer bedding. They're also some of the first Pelargoniums to start blooming in the spring, and they'll keep going strong all season long.

Our Pelargonium plants are supplied in a 6cm biodegradable pot which you can put straight into the pot or location you wish.  As time goes on the pot will simply compost down and the plant will happily grow on.
