FANCY DWARF ZONALS
These are also a smaller version of the regular zonal pelargoniums, but they are also considered 'fancy pelargoniums' because they are either tri-colour, gold leaf or silver leaf dwarf zonals. I've chosen to separate them from the regular dwarf zonals as there are quite a few of them.
The tri-colour or gold leaf varieties will require protection from noon sun or the leaf edges will burn. Most of the dwarf zonals bloom heavily but will not do so unless they have enough light. They will do well under fluorescent lights. The sizes of the plants will depend on the variety and size of pot you transplant them into. Dwarfs, when planted in a 4-1/2 inch pot should not exceed eight inches in height. Most are easy to grow and will give you much pleasure.
Please, DO NOT allow them to stand in water filled saucers -the roots will rot!
