Bold, charming, and deliciously easy, Pelargonium ‘Veronica Contreras’ is a pansy-faced pelargonium with clusters of 2" rosy plum-purple flowers bordered in soft lilac. The blooms nearly smother the lemon-scented evergreen foliage, creating a fragrant, floriferous display that feels both refined and completely cheerful.

This low-water Pelargonium can be grown as a trailing plant or coached into a shrubbier form, making it wonderfully versatile in containers, hanging baskets, dry garden beds, mixed borders, and Mediterranean-style plantings. Left to wander, it can form a low, wide plant about 1.5' tall and 2–3' wide; kept trimmed, it develops a more compact, shrubby habit. The fragrant leaves and richly colored flowers make it a standout for up-close planting near paths and patios.

Plant Pelargonium ‘Veronica Contreras’ in sun to part shade with well-drained soil. Tolerant of low water, deer, and a bit of neglect, it is much easier than it looks. Explore more scented and showy favorites in our Pelargonium collection.
