Named because of its zingy orange scented leaves rather than its flower colour, ‘Orange Fizz’ has pink/purple flowers! New to our extensive range of geraniums are these classic Victorian varieties with scented leaves, giving an extra dimension to the varieties already available. These plants were revived because of their great scent and flowering ability as well as looking fabulous.
Scented geraniums prefer a light well drained site grown and are ideal for patio containers, borders. Grown indoors a conservatory plant, a south or west-facing outlook is perfect or a spot that lets in plenty of light.
Leaves placed in a bowl of water will extract the fragrance and allow it to waft around the home.

Size guide - Pack of 5 Large Plug Plants
Pot Ready, Large, Healthy plants individually rooted in large plugs of compost. Ideal for planting into baskets, containers or small areas in the garden. Best results achieved if grown on for a short while in 9cm/10cm pots prior to planting out if planting straight into garden borders. Tender varieties will need protecting from frost. Compost volume around 4-5cm deep x 3-4cm square. Foliage height 5cm-12cm (depending on variety). Full growing instructions are provided.
General Growing Advice
Using a good quality multi-purpose compost, pot up your plugs into 10cm pots. Once your plug plants have been potted on and labelled, water them in well and grow on for around 5-6 weeks. Water once the compost starts to dry out.
Keep plants frost free until mid/late May and then harden off before being placed in their final positions when the risk of frost has passed in your area.
Brookside Nursery Advice to help you get the best from your Geranium bedding plants.
Perhaps because upright bedding geraniums are quite easy to look after they are one of the most popular bedding plants to grow in troughs, containers, hanging baskets and garden borders during the summer months, but it is still worth taking some care of your geranium plants as they can be in flower for several months.
Once ready to plant outside, space at around 8-12" (20-30cm) apart, preferably where they will receive between 6-8 hours a day of bright daylight or sun. Plant in a free-draining fertile soil if possible but they will still grow in stony, poorer soils. Water in well until plants are established.
Pinching out the first flower buds will ensure that the plant will put its energies into a good root system and leaf growth which will result in a stronger, bushier plant with more blooms.
Geraniums are fairly forgiving if you forget to water them for a day or two. In fact, once established they will prefer too little to too much water. Overwatering and being left in standing water will eventually lead to the roots rotting. Feed throughout the season with a high potash feed as this promotes strong blooms. A diluted measure of Tomorite once a week can be used.
Remove faded blooms as they go over, cutting back to the base of the flowering stem. This will encourage more flowers and keep your display looking fresh and tidy.
At the end of the flowering season, geraniums can be lifted and put onto the compost heap to rot down.
