pelargonium
Pelargonium 'Prince of Orange' is a slender, upright, evergreen perennial houseplant that features petite, palmately lobed leaves with a vibrant green hue and a delightful orange fragrance. During early summer, it produces delicate clusters of pale purple flowers, each adorned with five petals.
This particular cultivar, like other pelargoniums, thrives as a potted plant. Although it requires protection from frost, it can be conveniently brought indoors during the winter months, finding a cozy spot in the house, conservatory, or greenhouse.

How to care for Pelargonium Prince of Orange:
Pot up your pelargoniums, but only place them outside in the garden after the risk of frost has passed. Remove the spent flowers as they fade, and keep them well fed using a dilute solution of a high-potash liquid fertiliser (Tomorite is ideal) at regular intervals.
If you want to keep them over the winter, move them to a frost free environment and avoid overwatering during the colder months. Pinch back tips of shoots in spring or early summer.
