I am so excited to see this bloom. The color looks to be extraordinary! This particular plant is a smaller than the other two I ordered, but it's thriving in the hanging basket I planted it in.

Great Balls of Fire Lavendar Ivy Geranium

First time customer and will order from this company again and again. Ordered this lovely lavender geranium and was so pleased with its size, health and packaging when arrived. Comes in unusually sturdy packing in individual pot with plant that was moist. The plant is thriving. Highly recommend.
