Personally, I think P. 'Lord Bute' is a wonderful colour but it might be too
dark for you. http://www.pelargoner.nu/bilder/bastalorden.JPG
It might help you to Google for a nursery specialising in pelargoniums.



Lord Bute is one of the darkest flowers but certainly not bright red!

No, not bright red but v. glamorous. ;-)

However when I have grown it Sacha you get an awful lot of leaves for
your money and not enough flowers!

I hadn't thought of it in that way - I shall have to trot outside to have a
look!

I thought the description was of the type grown on the continent on
balconies.
Might it not be better to get a catalogue from Vernon's, in I think,
Surrey, and buy one good one or even visit. Then keep cuttings?

I certainly think that's the OP's best bet.
