It is known for its attractive red to medium-red flowers and pleasantly scented foliage. With its erose leaf margin and foliage leaf type, the 'Isabell' variety is truly eye-catching.

The plant typically grows to a height of around 30 to 40 cm, making it ideal for containers or smaller garden spaces.

In terms of structure, the 'Isabell' pelargonium is classified as subshrubby or semi-shrubby.

This structural characteristic contributes to the overall durability and longevity of the plant.

Although the 'Isabell' pelargonium does not have a noticeable floral scent, its foliage has a pleasantly scented aroma. This adds an additional sensory element to the plant, making it enjoyable to be around.

When caring for a 'Isabell' pelargonium, it is important to provide it with well-drained soil and regular watering. Pelargoniums prefer bright, sunny locations but can tolerate partial shade. Regular deadheading of spent flowers can help encourage continuous blooming throughout the growing season.

With its beautiful foliage, vibrant flower colors, and pleasant scent, Pelargonium 'Isabell' is a stunning addition to any garden or container display. Whether enjoyed up close or from a distance, its multi-colored blooms and erect growth habit are sure to captivate and delight.
