Diseases and pests
When the soil is waterlogged, gray rot appears, which is easy to visually detect by characteristic spots. The affected parts are removed, and the plant is treated with a fungicide.
In dry air, rust appears on the leaves of pelargonium. The treatment is the same as for gray mold. The disease can be identified by the characteristic brown bloom on the leaves.
With a lack of air humidity, the plant infects a spider mite. Its presence is determined by the characteristic spider web on the geranium. To destroy the pest, the entire plant is sprayed with an insecticide.
Aphids are also easy to see visually. It attaches to the outside of the leaf and to the stems. Insects are gently cleaned off with a cotton swab, and geraniums are washed with soapy water and treated with an insecticide.
The description of the variety does not always give a complete picture of the characteristics of a particular pelargonium. Carefully study the recommendations for care, this will preserve the plant for many years.
The nuances of care
Moistening the soil should be regular, but moderate. Moisture stagnation must not be allowed. In a warm season, one watering per week is enough. In winter, water procedures are carried out even less often: once a decade. Excessive moisture can be judged by rotting roots, deterioration in the appearance of the green part of the plant.
Not all varieties of the YUG series need pruning. This procedure only forms the plant if it does not itself maintain a decorative appearance. In addition, some very long stems can break. To avoid this, they are pinched.
It is important to use only sterile instruments when pruning.
Fertilizers are applied during the warm season. During these months, the culture is actively developing, spending energy on the formation of flowers. Therefore, she needs additional food.
Ready-made mineral complexes intended for home flowering crops are suitable. But if the summer turned out to be very hot, feeding should be postponed until the onset of cooler days.
Diseases and harmful insects
Pelargonium is resistant to various diseases and pests. But they still meet:
- Gray mold, a leaf disease. You need to deal with it as follows: remove damaged leaves, stop watering the plant, put it in the sun, spray with an antifungal agent.
- Rot of the root collar of a flower develops with excess moisture. This phenomenon turns out to be detrimental to pelargonium.
- Rust appears as yellow spots on the underside of the leaf.
Disease prevention is the treatment of plants with antifungal solutions before wintering. Also sprayed with fungicide, the drug "Doctor Foley" from fungi. The affected parts of the plant must be removed. Among insects, the main pests are whitefly, aphids, ticks, thrips, mealybug.
Growing pelargonium at home is not difficult at all. Especially if you adhere to the basic rules of plant care. Then the flower will grow and fragrant for joy.

Pelargoniums have won the love of many flower growers. Luxurious decorative flowers with a delicate scent transform any room. Thanks to the efforts of breeders, the assortment of crop varieties is constantly being replenished. A variety of shades and shapes makes it possible for everyone to find a plant to their liking. One of the popular groups is Pelargonium Yug. Consider the characteristics and features of growing these flowers.
Conditions for growing an indoor flower
Pelargonium is not a demanding indoor flower. However, for a healthy and beautiful plant, comfortable conditions are important.
An indoor flower should be watered abundantly, but at the same time, the water should not stagnate in the pot. Watering is needed plentiful, daily, especially in hot weather. In winter, you do not need to water a lot, but you should not bring the soil to complete drying. If watering is plentiful, traces of gray rot appear on the leaves, sometimes the stem rot, which can lead to the loss of the plant. If you water a little, the flower withers, the leaves begin to turn yellow, dry out.
Air humidity is not of particular importance for pelargonium, on the contrary, excess moisture and air stagnation can cause fungal diseases of the flower. Spraying should not be done.
In the warm season, the optimal temperature regime is +18 -22 C °. A sufficiently high air temperature, especially indoors, will also negatively affect the plant.
In winter, pelargonium is in a state of sleep. Plants should be moved to a room with a temperature of + 12 ° C and regular ventilation. It can be a loggia, balcony, greenhouse. Watering should be sparse. Wintering lasts approximately from November to February. At the end of winter, pelargonium begins to wake up gradually.
Transplant and pruning. These procedures should be performed annually, preferably in the spring, mid-March. In order for the plant to have a magnificent appearance, it is necessary to cut off the pieces. Perform this procedure only with a sharp knife diagonally. Broken parts of the plant can be rotted. And to enhance growth, branching, pinch the shoots.
To ensure adequate nutrition, the flower needs to be fed, organic fertilizers applied
But it is important to dose the top dressing, follow all the instructions indicated on the package: “Mister Color” Saintpaulia should be fed 1 cap per 1 liter of water during or before flowering.
"Gilea" - the recommended concentration is 2 caps per liter.
"Fertimix" vermicompost for flowering 3 caps per 1 liter, apply 1 time in 10-14 days.
Important. Use only clean room temperature water. Do not add nutrients in hot weather.
In this case, the plant will endure stress.
Do not add nutrients in hot weather. In this case, the plant will endure stress.
- First, it should be moved to a cool place.
- Next, be sure to water the flower, otherwise the fertilizers may burn the roots.
Most of all, the plant needs additional nutrition in summer and spring. Therefore, you need to feed it before the beginning of September, about 1 time in 2 weeks. You should not feed a transplanted or just purchased plant, you need to wait at least 1 month. Also, it is not recommended to use mineral fertilizers for diseased flowers with a damaged root system.

Growing problems and pests
The main pests of pelargonium are the root worm, which spoils the roots of the plant, and the whitefly, which likes to settle on the inside of the leaves. Excessive soil moisture contributes to the appearance of the root worm. To combat it, insecticides are used. But in the case of damage to the root system, it is better to say goodbye to the flower, and transplant the cut tops of the plant into new soil.
When creating suitable conditions for a perennial flower, it will delight for a long time with its unique color. The main thing is not to overdo it with watering.
Description
Russian breeder Yulia Gonchar presented the world with many varieties of geraniums.
The plant attracts with its rich color
Unlike other varieties, representatives of the YUG group have a compact size and beautiful flowering.
A brief history of the appearance of flowers of the YUG group
India has long been considered the homeland of pelargonium, but only recently have scientists been able to establish the exact origin of the plant. It originally appeared in South America.
Active breeding began in 1951 in England. Hobbyists and experienced growers have grown new varieties to improve the characteristics of flowers.
Julia Gonchar (South) was no exception. She wanted to get compact geraniums that would have large inflorescences. Over time, the breeder's work was crowned with success and she created many new plants.
For example, Pelargonium Yug Aksinya has double inflorescences of delicate red color with a barely noticeable white center. The small size of the copies allows them to be kept in apartments and tiny rooms. Dwarf sizes do not make pelargonium ugly, on the contrary, at such a height, the inflorescence plants look spectacular.
Prerequisites for landing
We will find out what requirements Lady Gertrude makes to her place of residence: what composition of the soil is important for her, the level of illumination, temperature and other nuances.
Location and lighting
Since the petals of this pelargonium are very delicate, direct sunlight should not affect them. And although Lady Gertrude needs good lighting, the pot with the plant should be shaded at noon. Note that with constant exposure to active sunlight on the leaves and petals, the latter become paler, the bush itself becomes smaller, looks sick, inconspicuous.
Note! In order for the plant to bloom magnificently and develop safely, it needs about 4-8 hours of bright light per day. It is recommended to place a container with this flower on western or eastern windowsills.
The southern side with an active sun and the dark northern side is not suitable for the plant. In winter, it is recommended to arrange additional lighting for Gertrude so that the inflorescences form more actively
It is recommended to place the container with this flower on the western or eastern windowsills. The southern side with an active sun and the dark northern side is not suitable for the plant. In winter, it is recommended to arrange additional lighting for Gertrude so that the inflorescences form more actively.
Temperature
For the summer period, the plant is suitable for keeping at a temperature of + 20-25 degrees.In winter, pelargonium needs coolness: + 12-15 degrees would be the best option. Note that the plant does not withstand the heat and when the temperature rises to +30, flowering stops.
If the heat is prolonged, the plant may even wither.
When flowering, it is also important to exclude the touch of the petals to the cold glass, and to rid the plant of drafts. Otherwise, pelargonium will begin to shed flowers
The soil
Pelargonium Lady Gertrude prefers to grow in loose, nutritious soil. The presence of clay inclusions in the substrate should be avoided, as they greatly weigh it down. Good drainage is important for the plant.
To ensure the outflow of water from the substrate to the bottom of the pot, be sure to place a layer of expanded clay pebbles or chipped bricks. A suitable substrate composition for this pelargonium is as follows:
- turf - 1 part;
- peat land - 1 part;
- sand - 1 part.
In addition, the soil must necessarily have a neutral or slightly acidic reaction. Pelargonium will not grow in acidified soil.
Growing problems, diseases and pests
Florists say: Pelargoniums of the YG group are distinguished by strong immunity. However, sometimes they are struck by diseases such as:
- root rot;
- gray mold;
- rust.
The likelihood of damage to plants by caterpillars, slugs and aphids is quite high.
How to deal with them
For prophylaxis, plants should be treated with antifungal drugs. If the disease begins to progress or pests are found on the flowers, it is recommended to use fungicides.
Important! Those parts that have been affected by insects or disease should be removed. From all of the above, it is easy to understand that Y. Gonchar's pelargoniums allow, with minimal care, to get a spectacular and bright houseplant that will delight the eye for a long time, will become an original interior decoration, and will even add bright colors to a boring space
From all of the above, it is easy to understand that Y. Gonchar's pelargoniums allow, with minimal care, to get a spectacular and bright houseplant that will delight the eye for a long time, become an original interior decoration, and even add bright colors to a boring space.

Reproduction methods
Cuttings
- At the end of flowering, the tops of the pelargonium are cut off. Leave the top 3 leaves, the others are removed.
- Sections must be treated with a fungicide, ash or activated carbon. This is done so that the stem of the mother plant does not rot.
- Then the cuttings are placed in transparent glasses with drainage, coke fiber or coarse sand is placed in them, and filled with liquid.
Another option is possible, put the cuttings in a container with water and, as it dries, it must be poured.
The roots appear quickly enough, after 10-12 days. The temperature in the room must be maintained at least + 20 ° С. After that, the rooted cuttings are planted in a previously prepared soil in a permanent place, where they continue to develop.
Next, you can watch a video that talks about grafting:
Dividing the bush
If the bush has grown, you can divide it. The best time for this is spring, when plant transplantation and soil renewal are carried out.
- First of all, the flower is taken out of the pot and the excess soil is shaken off.
- Then his kidneys are carefully examined.
- The area with healthy kidneys is separated and transplanted into another container.
Description of appearance and features
Terry pelargoniums have a large number of petals, collected in umbrella-shaped inflorescences that resemble rounded caps. The underside of the petals is lighter, making the flowers look fluffy.
Plants have a straight and sturdy stem, covered with lush foliage. The leaves are slightly velvety to the touch. Inflorescences are represented by a variety of colors and tint palette: white, pink, purple, etc.
Pelargoniums have a tart leafy odor, which is why some people get headaches (therefore, the plant is not suitable for everyone). This smell scares away insects such as flies and moths. On other people, on the contrary, the pronounced aroma of the flower has a calming effect, relieves headaches and insomnia, and also has a beneficial effect on cardiovascular diseases and hypertension.
The plant is light-requiring, easily tolerates drought and is quite unpretentious in maintenance.
Varieties of indoor plants with names
This group of pelargonium includes several varieties. All of them differ from each other in the shape of flowers and leaves, color. The most popular varieties bred by Y. Gonchar are described below.
Yug-Shukar
This spectacular variety belongs to the group of zonal pelargoniums. The flowers are ordinary or double, which have a cherry-scarlet hue. The plant needs regular pruning, otherwise it will lose its decorative shape. The foliage of the pelargonium is deep green in color.
Yug-Yadviga
Pelargonium Yug-Yadviga is a strong compact bush, literally covered with bright pink flowers. The plant does not require formation, in itself it is quite neat. The leaves of Jadwiga are ordinary green.
Yug-Barbara beauty
Yug-Varvara beauty - pelargonium, which is called one of the most compact among those bred by Yu. Gonchar. The bush has the correct shape, it is neat and dense. It doesn't need formation. Terry buds of a delicate pink shade are more like miniature roses or peonies than geraniums.
Lush inflorescences of this pelargonium resemble tiny bridal bouquets
Note! If Pelargonium Barbarian Beauty has enough sunshine, the color of its petals becomes brighter.
Yug-Sakura
It is easy to guess that this variety got its name due to its amazing similarity with Japanese cherry. The flowers are characterized by a light pink tint, from the center of each flower to the edges bright rays of a crimson tone diverge. The leaves are quite dense with small denticles at the edges.
YUG-Zlatoslav
Zlatoslav's dwarf pelargonium differs from other varieties of Y. Gonchar by the original golden tint of foliage. The flowers are wavy, their color is purple-pink.
South-Claudia
Pelargonium of this variety is called one of the most delicate. A small compact bush with leaves of a rich green tone is decorated with lush caps of white and pink buds.
Important! The plant does not need pruning
SOUTH Princess Grace
It is no coincidence that this flower received its royal name. Princess Gray - the true embodiment of tenderness - will take its rightful place in the collection of any grower. A neat rose bush has rough leaves of a pleasant green shade and rather large buds of a pale pink shade with overflows.
Yug-Nina and others
Depending on the season, the color of the petals of the YUG-Deya variety changes: in the summer it is salmon pink, in the spring it is white with a subtle pink blush, in the fall it is pale pink.
Another incredibly tender pelargonium is Yug-Nina. Golden foliage with an exquisite brown border around the edge is combined with dense double flowers, which are characterized by a pale pink hue and a barely noticeable purple tone.
For your information! Pelargonium Yug-Nina was named after grandmother Gonchar.
Pelargonium Yug-Kamaliya belongs to the dwarf group. The variety is distinguished by long flowering, lush pink double flowers. The inflorescences seem to be disheveled, they look really unusual.
White-pink pelargonium YUG-Sigal, according to gardeners' reviews, with proper care, has dense double flowers, reminiscent of mini-heads of ornamental cabbage. In direct sunlight, the flowers acquire a rich pink tone.
A bright reddish-crimson tone with a white glow, long peduncles are Pelargonium Yug-Aksinya. Delicate pink color and original two-color leaves - this is the beauty of Yug-Bibigul. Pelargonium SOUTH-Ireland is a fluffy bush with snow-white inflorescences.And the pink center and white edges is a variety called YUG-Yesenia.
Pelargonium Yug-Dey deserves special attention
In addition, today such varieties are known as YUG-Polina, YUG-Giselle, YUG-Tamila, YUG-Michel, YUG-Siberia, etc.
How to take care of it properly?
First of all, after purchasing a flower, it is necessary to examine it for withered leaves and insects hidden under them. For a flower, you need to choose a well-lit, warm place without the scorching rays of the sun and drafts and, preferably, without other plants.
There is no need to transplant flowering pelargonium immediately after purchase, even if the land in which it is now located seems scarce to you. Pelargonium does not like nutritious soil, in such a soil it blooms poorly, and treats an excess of water badly. Pelargonium loves fresh air, so in summer, in warm weather, it is good to keep it on the balcony, where there is the possibility of shading.
If the plant does not bloom, then its transplant will most likely be successful. Once removed from the ground, the root does not need to be rinsed. A little expanded clay or broken shards are poured at the bottom of the pot, then a layer of soil, then a plant is placed on the ground, sprinkled with earth, lightly tamped and watered.
A yellow pelargonium transplant is done in the spring. If there is no possibility of a complete transplant, then the topsoil is replaced. The pot should not be much wider than the root system.
In order for the bush to branch well, in late winter - early spring you will have to pinch it, removing the growth zone. This will cause the plant to throw out new side shoots, a more lush bush will form.
Watering yellow pelargonium should be moderate, the flower tolerates drought more easily than waterlogged soil. It is impossible to spray zonal pelargonium - during the flowering period this can have a bad effect on the flowers. As a top dressing for growing pelargonium, mineral or liquid fertilizers are good, and during the flowering period - phosphorus-potassium with a small nitrogen content. Top dressing should be applied weekly from May to September.
Note! Organic fertilizers for pelargonium cannot be used
History of origin
India was originally considered the birthplace of pelargonium, but this statement was erroneous. And all because, it was delivered on European ships that ply the shores of India. As it turned out, South Africa is the true home of pelargonium. There, at the Cape of Good Hope, sailors bought exotic plants for breeders and botanists. In this part of the world, 80% of the species of known pelargoniums were found.
In 1951, an association of amateurs and breeders was created in England under the name of the British Society of Pelargonium and Geranium, under the leadership of John Cross. Thanks to this, a new wave of popularity of pelargoniums began, an interest in marvelous flowers revived, which does not fade away even today.
Reference. More than 100 million plants are grown and sold worldwide every year.
How to care for Yug plants at home
Like other pelargoniums, the varieties of Y. Gonchar are unpretentious. However, in order for the plants to fully show all their decorativeness, it is necessary to provide them with comfortable conditions.
Illumination and temperature conditions
This culture can be classified as light-loving. Experienced flower growers recommend placing pelargoniums on the south or east side. To ensure that each side of the bush receives enough light, you should turn it from time to time.
Excessive watering can lead to the development of diseases such as blackleg and dropsy.
In spring and summer, it is necessary to maintain an air temperature of about 20-23 ° C, during the rest period, about 15-17 ° C should be ensured.
Watering rules and humidity
The moisture level suitable for pelargonium is 60%. In this case, the plants do not need to be sprayed. Watering should be moderate, moisture stagnation is unacceptable.
For your information! In spring and summer, one watering per week is enough for flowers; in winter, Pelargoniums SOUTH should be watered no more than once a decade.
Top dressing and soil quality
The soil must be nutritious and loose
It is important that the soil is breathable. You can purchase a universal mixture in the store or make it yourself by combining in equal parts: Fertilizing is recommended only during the warmer months when plants are developing and forming flowers.
Special mineral complexes are suitable for feeding.
Fertilization is recommended only during the warmer months when plants are developing and forming flowers. Special mineral complexes are suitable for feeding.
Flower container size
It is better to choose a small container for pelargoniums of the group in question, otherwise the plant may stop flowering. In addition, in small containers or pots, these flowers will hold their shape better.
Pruning and replanting
Pelargonium needs sanitary pruning annually. It is best to carry out this procedure in March. Cutting must be done diagonally, using a sharp knife.
The best option for pelargoniums is clay pots with a drainage layer at the bottom.
Note! These plants do not like transplants, and therefore, the capacity and soil for plants should not be changed more than once every couple of years.
Varieties: description and photo
Let's describe the most popular varieties - Shukar, Varvara Krasa, Nina, Kamaliya.
Nina
The species belongs to the zonal genus, is a dwarf variety. The petals are very densely located on the buds, which are a little terry. Their shade is pale pink with purple overflow. The shrub turns out to be very lush, but at the same time, due to its dwarfism, it comes out compact. Due to their splendor, the inflorescences resemble rosebuds.
Shoots and peduncles are dense, fleshy, grow straight up. The leaf plates of a pale green hue, even a little with a golden tint, have brown edges.
Reference! The name Julia Gonchar gave to the variety in honor of her grandmother.
A stalk of this kind will cost about 1000-1500 rubles.
Shukar
This is another representative of the zonal species. The size of the bush is standard, but requires regular pruning to form a beautiful shape. Inflorescences are scattered on different sides. The petals take on all shades of red: from scarlet to rich cherry. Flowers are found both simple and double. It all depends on the care. The petals are slightly oblong in shape.
The name "Shukar" is translated from Greek as "beauty".
Reference! You can buy a young Shukar for about 1000-1200 rubles.
Varvara Krasa
Also a zoned plant that grows exceptionally straight. This variety is dwarf (read how to properly care for dwarf pelargonium here). The bush grows very dense, dense, does not require pruning - the correct shape is created as it grows.
The buds are large in relation to the leaves and the size of the entire plant as a whole. The petals are terry to the touch, pale pink in color. But in good light, they acquire a richer hue. This variety blooms profusely and for a long time.
Kamaliya
Again, a representative of the dwarfs. The bush is very lush, the leaf plates are of a standard green color. The inflorescences are distinguished by an unusual shape, from a distance they seem slightly frayed. The shade of the petals ranges from pale pink to rich.
The main characteristic of Kamalia is its long flowering, even in the cold season. In texture, the buds are terry.
Reference! The price of one cuttings ranges from 500-700 rubles.
Features of periods of development
The plant has two time periods per year - dormancy and active growth. They must be changed periodically, otherwise the geranium will not live long.
Periods
Growth time is in the spring and summer. From about mid-April, pelargonium wakes up from hibernation and begins to grow. At this time, bud formation and flowering occurs.
It is interesting! Some varieties of geraniums bloom for a very long time (even in winter), for example, South Kamaliya pelargonium.
In the spring, geraniums form buds
Rest preparation begins around September.During this period, the plant is not transplanted, fed or rearranged. It is advisable to reduce the temperature, the number of waterings and the length of daylight hours.
Geraniums wake up gradually. To do this, they are gradually returned to their usual conditions of detention, imitating the change of seasons in nature.
Types of flowers
Varieties differ not only in size and color. Pelargonium Yug Dey, for example, has double petals - this makes the flowers voluminous, lush, beautiful. They are called terry.
Varieties can have different flower shapes. For example, in tulip pelargonium, they resemble tulips. This also applies to rosaceous species. The Deacons look especially beautiful. In such a geranium, flowers are collected in a small bunch.
Reproduction methods
It is easiest to breed pelargonium with shoots. To do this, it is enough to cut the stalk, put it in water or plant it in the ground. It takes 2-3 weeks for the roots to germinate, after which the plant needs to be looked after as usual.
Important! During flowering, branches cannot be cut off, since the wound will negatively affect the health of the flower. Additionally, you can use stimulants for the development of the root system, for example, "Kornevin"
It is better to do this in the spring, when geraniums are gaining strength.
Additionally, you can use stimulants for the development of the root system, for example, "Kornevin". It is better to do this in the spring, when the geranium is gaining strength.
Another breeding option is with seeds that are sold in specialized stores. They are planted in shallow containers in March. The first shoots appear at 3-4 weeks, picking is carried out at 6 weeks after sowing. This growing method is difficult for indoor conditions.
How and where to plant?
A container for pelargonium is chosen with a small diameter. Compact flower bushes will keep their shape better in them, flowering also directly depends on the size of the flowerpot. In large pots, the plant refuses to bloom. Container material, preferably clay. A drainage layer of at least 2 cm thick is imperative.
- The plant should be placed in the pot carefully, the root system is fragile.
- Then sprinkle it thoroughly with earth, without tamping it.
- Moisten the top a little with warm, settled water.
Lighting
You need a lot of light. The plant loves the sun and bright light. Preference should be given to window sills on the south side. However, with poor ventilation, it can overheat, in which case it must be temporarily darkened. With a lack of sunlight, the leaves turn yellow, the lower ones dry out. For an evenly lush crown, the flower must be regularly turned to the sun, either side or the other.
The soil
For planting and replanting, the soil needs loose, air-permeable, enriched with minerals. Soil for pelargonium can be purchased ready-made in garden stores. Or cook it yourself.
The composition of such a soil mixture: leaf earth, peat or compost humus, sand. All components must be in equal proportions.
As a safety precaution, it is best to ignite the mixtures within 30 minutes. You can also add perlite as a loosening agent.
Where and how to plant?
It is recommended to choose a pot for Pelargonium South that is not very large. Since its size directly affects the formation of a beautiful bush shape and the abundance of flowering. It is worth noting that in large flowerpots this plant practically does not bloom at all. It is good if the planting container is made of clay.
When planting, do not forget about the drainage layer, the thickness of which must be at least 2 centimeters.
- Landing order:
- Pelargonium South should be placed in a flowerpot very carefully, since the root system of this flower is very fragile.
- It is only necessary to tame with the earth, but in no case should it be tamped.
- Pour lightly on top with settled water at room temperature.
- Choice of location and lighting.
There should be a lot of light, therefore it is recommended to place Pelargonium South on the south or east side of the room. An important element of care is regular airing so that the plant does not become blocked. If the flower does not have enough lighting, the leaves will begin to turn yellow, and the lower ones will disappear altogether.
In order for the correct bush to form, the plant must be periodically turned in different directions to the sun.
- Priming.
For Pelargonium South, you need a loose, nutritious substrate that easily allows water and air to pass through. Usually, the soil is bought ready-made in the store. But you can cook it yourself. To do this, it is necessary to take the following components in equal proportions: leaf and sod land, peat, humus and coarse river sand. The acidity of the soil should be neutral.

SOUTH Princess Grace
Pelargonium South-Princess Grace
Large pale pink flowers with iridescence are collected in dense inflorescences.
Pelargoniums have won the love of many flower growers. Luxurious decorative flowers with a delicate scent transform any room. Thanks to the efforts of breeders, the assortment of crop varieties is constantly being replenished. A variety of shades and shapes makes it possible for everyone to find a plant to their liking. One of the popular groups is Pelargonium Yug. Consider the characteristics and features of growing these flowers.
general description
Pelargoniums are part of the Geranium family. It unites several hundred species of plants. These are both shrubs and herbaceous specimens. At home, only a few types of pelargonium are grown. But even so, the choice is very wide.
Flowers have a variety of colors. They form small or large umbrella-shaped inflorescences.
White, soft and bright pink, red, burgundy, purple and other expressive tones leave no one indifferent. The colors can be either monochromatic or combined. The leaves are simple but beautiful.
Pelargoniums of the YUG series are the creations of the wonderful breeder Yulia Gonchar from the Voronezh region. Actually, the capital letters in the name of the varieties just mean the initials of the creator. All varieties bred by Julia bloom willingly and profusely. Bushes are usually compact, fluffy. The exception is Yug-Shukar, which is of medium height and requires formation.
