Hybridised by Ken Dymond, the name of this Angel Pelargonium gives away when it was introduced!  Yes, it was introduced in 2000.  "Quantock Millenium"  is a lovely Angel Pelargonium with large blooms of dark red upper petals with a thin white edge. The lower petals are white splashed with same dark red.

Nicor Star - Dwarf zonal pelargonium

Nicor Star - Dwarf zonal pelargonium

 Nicor Star is one of those pelargoniums that is hardly noticed in the greenhouse for about nine months of the year, and suddenly, in mid- May you spot the pretty pink flowers.  The leaves are a basic dark green, and the flowers are a very pretty very pale pink with a thin darker pink edge to the petals on a dwarf plant.  It is the darker star shaped centre of each flower that gives this plant its name. It was first introduced in 2002 by Sulmans Nursery.    I first saw this plant in Canada about eight years ago, and immediately put it on my ‘wish list’.
