Common name: Regal Pelargonium, Show Pelargonium, Martha Washington, Lady Washington
Botanical name: Pelargonium × domesticum    Family: Geraniaceae (Geranium family)

Regal Pelargoniums are large bush-type evergreen pelargoniums. They are grown primarily for the beauty and richness of their flower heads, which are large. Most of those cultivars grown currently are the result of hybridization over the last 50 years. They are very short-jointed and compact, which results in their requiring very little work in order to create a floriforous and well-rounded plant. Flowers are single, rarely double, in mauve, pink, purple or white. They have rounded, sometimes lobed or partially toothed (serrated) leaves, unlike the Zonal groups, without any type of zoning.
