Common name: Geranium Toscana 'Dolce Vita Stella'

Description: Pelargonium Toscana 'Dolce Vita Stella' is a distinctive compact zonal pelargonium from the Toscana Dolce Vita series, notable for its star-shaped flower form with attractively marked petals in soft pink tones. The star-shaped blooms give it a more delicate, refined appearance than conventional rounded pelargonium flower heads, making it particularly effective in mixed container displays and window boxes where textural variety is valued. It shares the strong weather resistance and reliable compact habit characteristic of the Toscana series.
