Pelargonium Islington Peppermint is a delightful small-scale variety with a neat, almost creeping habit that rarely exceeds 20 cm in height. A fascinating hybrid between Pelargonium tomentosum and Pelargonium tricolor, it features soft, light green, trilobed leaves that are velvety (tomentose) to the touch and release a fresh peppermint aroma. Its most remarkable feature is the flower: though small, the blooms are exceptionally beautiful, with the two upper petals a deep blood-red and the three lower petals a pure, contrasting white.
