The most common type, featuring characteristic dark bands ("zones") on the leaves and spherical flower clusters. Ivy-leaved (Trailing): Features long, cascading stems and smooth, fleshy leaves that resemble those of ivy; ideal for hanging baskets and balcony boxes. Regal: Distinguished by large, often ruffled flowers with dark blotches or streaks on the petals; the bloom period is shorter than that of the Zonal type, but the display is spectacular.
