World first for Hampton Court
What better way to kick off the Hampton Court Palace Flower Show than with a peak at the first ever double angel pelargonium.
"Quantock Double Diamond" was one of those chances of nature, found on a plant of "Quantock Ultimate". It took Fir Trees Pelargonium Nursery five years to bring it to cultivation.
The plant is a miniature with a gentle trailing habit. The blooms are deep maroon doubles, which change shape as they get bigger.
