Pelargonium 'Tornado Pink' (Ivy-leaved Geranium)

Common name: Ivy-Leaf Geranium 'Tornado Pink'

Description: Pelargonium 'Tornado Pink' is a vigorous and reliable trailing ivy-leaf pelargonium producing bright, clear pink flowers in generous trusses over a very long season from late spring to the first frosts. Its vigorous trailing stems make it an outstanding choice for hanging baskets, window boxes, and tall containers, where it will quickly fill the available space with a cascading curtain of glossy ivy-shaped leaves and vivid pink blooms. It is notably weather-resistant and recovers quickly from rain, maintaining a consistently attractive display through the summer months.

Other benefits: vigorous trailing habit ideal for baskets; vivid clear pink flowers; excellent weather resistance; long season from late spring to first frosts

Wildlife attraction: bees and other pollinating insects
