Meet - varieties of star-shaped pelargoniums with photos and descriptions
Stellar or stellate pelargonium is an amazing, unlike the classic varieties, a plant that most flower growers have yet to recognize and appreciate.
Pelargonium Lotta Lundberg
The bushes are compact, miniature, suitable for keeping in an apartment, but they will not go unnoticed in the garden, near a rocky hill or in a flowerpot.
Pelargonium Bronze Butterfly
Another spectacular stellar is Pelargonium Bronze Butterfly, characterized by bright inflorescences of salmon-colored star flowers and ornamental leaves with a dark curly zone in the center of the leaf blade.
Star-shaped pelargoniums, including this interesting variety, cannot be confused with plants producing double flowers, nor with rosaceous or tulip-like varieties. The shape of the corolla in this case is closest to the carnation. Semi-double flowers consist of feathery, salmon-colored petals dissected along the edge.
The plant will produce the greatest effect when planted on flowerbed in a well-lit place, careful maintenance and pruning.
Pelargonium Richard Hodgson
The compact bushes of the star-shaped zonal pelargonium of Richard Hodgson are loved by many indoor plant lovers, while the variety, according to flower growers, has absorbed the best features of both star and classic plants.
Bushes do not require painstaking care and shaping, the plant independently gives side shoots and maintains good shape. Even without inflorescences, the bushes look attractive due to the characteristic "clawed" stellars, with a dark contrasting zone in the middle of the leaf blade. But when peduncles appear, the plant shows all its charm.
The flowers of this variety of pelargonium, as in the photo, have a complex color. On a white or pinkish background, which becomes more saturated at the tips of the petals, bright stripes, specks or very extensive areas of red or carmine are clearly visible. At the same time, like all stellars, Richard Hodgson's petals are serrated. Corolla is very airy, double with noticeable red stamens.
Pelargonium Flecks
Delicate, quivering Flecks pelargonium is a miniature star-shaped plant that delights the grower with semi-double flowers-stars of a warm salmon pink hue. The middle of the flower is lightened, and towards the edges of the figured petals, the tone becomes warm, saturated.
On a small, well-shaped bush, covered with small leaves, large voluminous inflorescences look great. The variety is picky, blooms easily and does not shed flowers for a long time.
Pelargonium Gosbrook Robyn Louise
Dwarf pelargonium Gosbrook Robyn Louise is a great choice for home. Small neat bushes of this variety of pelargonium, as in the photo, bloom profusely and can become a decoration for any windowsill.
The plant does not differ in high growth rates, does not strive to grow upward, the shoots form a dense spreading crown. The leaves of this variety of pelargonium, like those of other stellars, are seriously different from the rounded foliage of the classic zonal varieties. But this only adds charm to the bushes, until double pink and lilac flowers appear above them. A characteristic feature of the corollas is the concave petals that resemble a tiny boat.
Pelargonium Hulverstone
Among the star-flowered dwarf pelargoniums, one cannot fail to notice the Hulverstone variety. Not only is Pelargonium Hulverstone not demanding to care for, almost independently forms a compact crown, the variety stands out with bright, almost yellow, light foliage, which makes the plant literally glow on the windowsill.
The inflorescences are very fluffy pelargoniums, similar to white-pink pompons. Some flowers are double, with a paler center and bright, carrot-salmon shaped petals.
Pelargonium Elmfield
Miniature Elmfield pelargonium is decorated not only with inflorescences of medium-sized dense red with silvery specks and stripes of semi-double flowers, but also rich green foliage with purple spots on each of the cloves.
The very unusual appearance of the plant, and the ability to branch well and not rush to vertical growth, attract increased attention of flower growers to the variety.
Pelargonium Kitbridge Vic Caws June Patricia
Kitbridge Vic Caws June Patricia, a dwarf pelargonium that delights with bright scarlet flowers is a godsend for the windowsill. The inflorescences reminiscent of "Christmas stars" will not allow you to forget about your favorite holiday even in summer, and the foliage, showing all the decorative signs in the light, will delight you in winter.
In good light, chocolate-colored spots are perfectly visible on the leaf blades. The bush is easy to form and blooms profusely.
Pelargonium Rushmoor Golden Ruffles
As a true miniature, Pelargonium Rushmoor Golden Ruffles grows very slowly, willingly sprouts and blooms profusely.
The variety can rightfully be classified as variegated, since the small golden leaves of pelargonium in the sun show a dark orange-brown zone. Inflorescences are delicate pink-salmon star-shaped flowers with elongated split petals. The color of the corolla is not uniform. Towards the center and at the edges of the intricately curved petals, the shade loses its intensity. Bright orange stamens are visible in the center of the flower.
The variety is ideal for home cultivation and will easily fit on an apartment windowsill.
Pelargonium Starstorm
Pelargonium Starstorm with an abundance of speckled double flowers is a godsend for growers who do not have free space for flower pots, but want to get such an unusual plant. The bushes of this variety are very small, perfectly branching and unpretentious.
The flowering of this pelargonium can be called a record one. Snow-white flowers with scarlet spots and stripes alternate with almost completely red corollas, which only gives the bushes additional charm.
Pelargonium Vancouver Centennial
The unusual variegated Pelargonium Vancouver Centennial is unlike any of the plants described. Some of the florists consider its main advantage to be graceful umbrella inflorescences with tiny scarlet flowers in the shape of carnations. And some people prefer bright burgundy-purple leaves with a green border along the edge of the plate and along the veins. The flowering is abundant for a long time, and the foliage is pleasing to the eye all year round.
Pelargonium forms neat shrubs that do not require long shaping and show all their advantages in full force in the sun. The variety is suitable both for home cultivation and for planting in the garden, for example, as edging paths. Bright spots between stones or against the background of ornamental shrubs and conifers.
