Pelargonium ‘Pink Raspail’ (Z/d)

Description:

A double-flowered zonal Pelargonium with soft satiny pink flowers. Listed in H. Cannell & Sons Floral Guide of Plants, 1904. This plant can be traced back to the 1920's at Pyrford Court, Surrey. When the house was sold in 2001, the conservatories were cleared and the plants destroyed. However, cuttings had previously been given to a Plant Heritage member and a plant was even sent to the grandson of the original owner of Pyrford Court.
