Geraniums continue to be consistently popular with consumers, despite the fact that they’ve remained
relatively unchanged. Until now. Thanks to the impressive innovations of Elsner pac, a new era of Geranium
demand is at hand. Imagine how fast these refreshing new varieties will disappear from the benches.

PELARGONIUM x crispum angel eyes®
The smallest of the Regal types is anything but
timid. Angel Eyes are extremely floriferous,
displaying unique pansy-faced flowers with vivid
markings that bloom beautifully all summer.
Bushy and naturally compact, they have no need
for PGRs and require less water and fertilizer
than standard Geraniums. Growing cool for the
final one-third of the production cycle will
improve quality, though no cool treatment is
needed under high light conditions.
