These flowers make charming bouquets all summer long. To harvest, cut a flower stalk as far down as possible, and immediately place it in cool, clean water. They may be harvested in the morning at full bloom or just before. Change the water daily for prolonged color.

Pelargonium x hortorum also called a Zonal Geranium is a member of the family Geraniaceae and is mistakenly given the common name "geranium" in North America though not a geranium at all. There is some disagreement among American horticulturalists and hobbyists whether or not to refer to the plant by what it looks like ("geranium") or by its scientific taxonomic name ("pelargonium"). Pelargonium was first cultivated in the 16th century near South Africa and has thrived as an ornamental variety with countless institutions dedicated to its cultivation.
