Spring Collection · 2025
Blush white petals crowned with deep burgundy — ruffled, refined, and deeply elegant. The duchess of the spring garden.
The Portrait · No. 01
There are plants that whisper and plants that hold court. Jeannete holds court. Her flowers are a study in refined contrast — blush white petals ruffled at their edges, each one crowned by a sweep of deep burgundy that darkens toward the centre like wine staining linen.
The ruffling is what sets her apart within the Elegance series — where Judith is bold and Loes joyful, Jeannete is composed. Each petal is layered and structured, giving the flower a depth that rewards close attention. In a good light, the burgundy markings seem almost to glow.
She blooms abundantly through spring on compact, upright stems above deeply lobed green foliage. A plant that looks entirely at home on a formal terrace or in an elegant interior.
Care Guide
Regal pelargoniums thrive on attention and consistency. Jeannete rewards the grower who provides the right balance of light, water, and rest.
Full to partial sun — at least 4 hours of direct light daily. Morning sun with afternoon shade in high summer protects the delicate blush tones and extends the flowering period.
Allow the top 2–3 cm of compost to dry between waterings. Water thoroughly at the base — never overhead, as wet petals mark and rot quickly.
Ideal growing temperature 12–22°C. A cool winter rest at 8–12°C encourages stronger spring flowering. Not frost-tolerant — bring indoors before the first frost.
Remove spent flower heads regularly — this is critical for continuous flowering. After the main spring flush, prune back by a third to encourage a compact shape and late-season rebloom.
Fortnightly feeding with a high-potassium organic fertiliser during the growing season. Too much nitrogen will produce lush foliage at the expense of flowers.
Jeannete suits formal, considered settings — a classical terracotta pot, a stone urn, a white container on a shaded terrace. Her colouring pairs beautifully with grey, stone, and white.
Jeannete grows alongside Judith and Loes on a small holding in the Prahova Valley — three varieties, three characters, one commitment to quality. Limited spring availability.
