Gardening projects for kids: Growing a pizza garden
Pizza is a fan favourite in many households. The toppings are endlessly customisable. Whether it’s a generous sprinkle of cheese, a handful of fresh rocket,
Sometimes all a dull corner needs is a statement flower to steal the show. Nothing wakes up a patio or garden bed quite like an energetic burst of colour. If your outdoor space needs a quick refresh, the Pelargonium Grandiflorum Elegance Series is a great place to start. Sun-loving and drought-tolerant, it brings rich hues and dramatic ruffled petals directly to your home.
Living up to its name, the botanical term grandiflorum translates to “large flower”, and it lives up to the hype.
Dramatic blooms: Flowers stretch up to 5 cm across, featuring velvety petals with rich dark centres and markings that look almost hand-painted.
Classic leafy base: Soft, grey-green leaves create an elegant backdrop that stays neat and vibrant all season.
Versatile placement: Perfect for sunny patio pots, bright sunrooms and sheltered garden beds.
Resilient and easygoing, they are an effortless way to brighten your outdoor space with vibrant colour.
Gardening is all about personal expression, and styling these statement flowers is stress-free. If you’re working with a small patio, drop a single plant into a decorative pot right next to your seating area so you can appreciate those intricate petals up close. Got more space? Plant them in groups of three to five in a sunny garden bed for a massive splash of colour, or pair deep purple varieties with soft trailing Alyssum to spill over your container edges.
If you love mixed pots, these pelargoniums pair beautifully with other sun-lovers. Try planting them alongside thyme or lavender near your braai area for subtle fragrance and rich texture. They keep your statement flowers looking great while bringing extra life to your garden space.
A few simple habits make all the difference. Keep your display bursting with colour through the warmer months.
Give them plenty of sun: Place your pots or garden beds where they receive at least six hours of direct sunlight daily for continuous flower production.
Water mindfully: Allow the top layer of soil to dry out slightly between thorough waterings, ensuring containers have good drainage to protect root health.
Deadhead regularly: Gently snip or pinch off spent flower heads at the stem base to keep fresh, new buds pushing through all season long.
Creating a garden space that stays in bloom through the warm South African months shouldn’t feel like hard work. With the Elegance Series, a little sunshine and minimal care reward you with continuous beauty all season long.
