The veined petals of Geranium ' Cherie' (Pelargonium) are orange in the centre & fade to white at the edges. Geraniums are still among the most popular summer plants. They flower for a long time, until the frost sets in. If you let them overwinter in a frost-free place, these geraniums will flower again the following year. Geraniums are easy to grow from seed. About 10 to 12 weeks after sowing the first plants will flower.
