Plant Features

Clorinda Geranium Plant has a pleasant cedar-like scent with just a hint of calming eucalyptus and large rose-colored blossoms sitting atop deeply ruffled yellowy-green foliage! The lightly marbled petals of this specialty geranium are perky pink and white, while the upper three of the five petals are lightly veined with maroon. Clorinda is a looker!
