On March 25, Syngenta Flowers’ Rosebud Astrid was awarded Geranium of the Year 2021 by the Swedish industrial organization Blomsterfrämjandet. The double-flowered pelargonium and its great growing qualities outshined all other nominated varieties this year.
What is Geranium of the Year? To highlight the diversity of the geranium range available on the market, every year one specific variety will be awarded. To receive the award there are a few requirements: the variety must be a healthy and vigorous geranium with something iconic and it must stand out compared to other geraniums.
Why was Rosebud Astrid selected as Geranium of the Year 2021? The variety has double flowers that shimmer in different shades of pink and apricot. The leaves are a fresh green with a broad, undulating, chocolate-brown zonal marking. In addition to a beautiful appearance, the variety has fantastic growing qualities: the geranium delivers floral splendour both indoors and outdoors, withstands rain and debris and offers unlikely flowering all summer long!
