Horizon Petticoat Geranium

Horizon Petticoat is a seed-raised zonal pelargonium with softly bicolored flower clusters. Its pink blooms carry white overtones, and the compact selection suits small containers and the front of a seasonal border. ## Seasonal Display The plant listing describes rounded clusters from late spring into early fall and notes that the flowers can be cut for small arrangements. The Horizon name belongs to a seed-grown zonal geranium series; suppliers list Petticoat among its named color selections. See the [cultivar listing](https://www.simplyscapes.com/plants/geranium-annual-horizon-petticoat) and [Horizon supplier catalog](https://www.germaniaseed.com/orderforms/2023/PlugConnection_784_2023.pdf). ## Placement and Growing Give it a sunny position and a free-draining potting mix. Pelargoniums flower best in sun, and container compost should not stay waterlogged; water moderately while the plant is actively growing. This tender garden geranium is usually grown as a warm-season annual where frost occurs. The [RHS growing guide](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/pelargonium/growing-guide) covers light, watering, and seasonal care for pelargoniums. ## Maintenance Remove faded flower heads to encourage continued flowering and keep the plant tidy. Its recorded mature size is about 12 inches tall by 8 inches wide, so leave room for air movement and avoid crowding it against larger plants.
