Geranium 'Pulsar Red' (Pot Size 11cm) sold by Boma Garden Centre

Red is the colour most associated with the bedding geranium, and Pelargonium ‘Pulsar Red’ is one of the finest examples of the type. Part of the established Pulsar Series of seed-raised zonal pelargoniums, it produces generous rounded clusters of vivid scarlet-red single flowers on upright stems throughout the entire summer season, set against the characteristic rounded, mid-green foliage with its dark horseshoe-shaped zone markings. The Pulsar Series was developed specifically for compact, controlled growth and strong colour intensity, making ‘Pulsar Red’ a particularly reliable choice for gardeners who want consistent, high-impact results with minimal effort.Red geraniums are a cornerstone of the British summer garden, and ‘Pulsar Red’ earns its place in both traditional and contemporary planting schemes. For a bold, classic display, plant it alongside white Alyssum or silver-leaved Senecio cineraria for a crisp red-and-white contrast. In a more dynamic container combination, pair it with deep purple Verbena and trailing Lobelia ‘Sapphire’ for a rich jewel-toned arrangement that carries colour from late spring right through to autumn. It is equally effective planted en masse as a bedding statement, or used as a vivid accent plant amongst mixed summer planting in a sunny border.
