About this Plant
Pelargonium ‘Occold Shield’ is a striking ornamental geranium grown primarily for its bold, decorative foliage. The bright chartreuse leaves are marked with a dramatic bronze central band, creating eye-catching contrast even when the plant is not in bloom.
From spring through fall, semi-double orange-red flowers rise above the foliage, attracting butterflies and hummingbirds while adding vibrant seasonal color. This variety has a vigorous, mounding growth habit that performs beautifully in beds, borders, containers, and hanging baskets.
Deer resistant and drought tolerant once established, Pelargonium ‘Occold Shield’ thrives in sun to part shade with well-drained soil. It also makes a unique cut flower, offering both foliage interest and bright blooms for indoor arrangements.
