The Pelargonium (Zonale Grp) Elara is a stunning variety of geranium, also known as pelargonium. With its single flower type and erose leaf margin, this plant is a true beauty that will enhance any garden or patio.
One of the standout features of the Elara is its flower color, which ranges from red to medium-red, with a shade code of 044B. The vivid, eye-catching color adds a vibrant touch to any outdoor space. The flowers have a diameter of approximately 3.5 to 4 cm, making them the perfect size for showcasing their beauty.
In terms of size, the Elara typically reaches a height of 10 to 20 cm, making it a compact plant that can easily fit into smaller spaces. The leaves of this pelargonium are also on the smaller side, measuring between 5 and 7.5 cm in length. The main leaf color is a rich, dark green, which provides a lovely contrast to the bright red flowers.
The growth type of the Elara is erect, meaning that it grows upright rather than trailing or sprawling. This makes it an ideal choice for borders, containers, or even as a centerpiece in a flower arrangement. Its upright growth habit allows for easy placement and ensures that the plant remains visually appealing throughout the growing season.
A notable characteristic of the Elara is the unicolored distribution of its flower color. This means that the entire flower is bathed in the same shade of red, without any variegation or contrasting patterns. This uniformity adds to the overall elegance and sophistication of this geranium variety.
As with most pelargoniums, the Elara is relatively low-maintenance and easy to grow. It thrives in full sun or partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. Regular watering is recommended, but be sure not to overwater as this can lead to root rot. Deadheading the spent flowers will encourage the plant to produce more blooms, ensuring a prolonged flowering season.
With its captivating flower color, compact size, and upright growth habit, the Pelargonium (Zonale Grp) Elara is a must-have for any garden enthusiast looking to add a touch of beauty and charm to their outdoor space. Whether planted individually or in a group, this geranium is sure to attract attention and bring joy to all who encounter it.
