Pelargonium x domesticum

The most dramatic flowers of the geranium family. The flower trusses contain fewer but larger blooms than the zonals, with five petaled florets that are usually ruffled or frilly edged, creating the impression of double flowers. Many are bi-colored and include a wide color range. Regals prefer cooler weather and would benefit from some shade during the hot afternoons to keep up a good bloom. Over-winter above freezing and below 50F for 4 to 6 weeks to set buds for the following year.

'Imperial', velvety, luminescent dark purple flowers with bright white picotee are produced freely on these medium sized plants. One of the Oglevee "Royalty" series.
