Posted by plantladylin (Sebastian, Florida - Zone 10a) on Oct 7, 2011 3:06 PM concerning plant:

Vancouver Centennial, like other zonal Geraniums, is a popular annual bedding plant. It is a small to medium herbaceous perennial or annual with a spreading, mounding growth habit. It prefers to grow in full sun to partial shade. Spent flowers should be removed (deadheaded) to promote continuous blooming throughout the summer. This particular Pelargonium has beautiful dense variegated foliage of green and orange/bronze. I grow this plant in hanging baskets and I love the bold textured foliage even more than the flowers.
