Geranium ‘Calliope Medium Dark Red’ — Red Pelargonium

Description

Geranium ‘Calliope Medium Dark Red’ is a bold plant for warm weather. It has deep red flowers and rich green leaves. The plant stays full and blooms for a long season with simple care.

How to Grow It

Grow this geranium in full sun or bright light. In very hot areas, a little late-day shade can help. Use soil that drains well. Water when the top of the soil begins to dry.

This plant is a good choice for pots, baskets, window boxes, and flower beds. For a softer color, try Calliope Medium Pink Flame. For a bright contrast, pair it with Calliope Medium White.

Simple Care

Remove old flower heads as they fade. This keeps the plant neat and helps new buds form. Feed lightly during active growth. Do not let the roots sit in wet soil.

If you want a trailing form, Calliope Cascade Violet is a useful match for mixed containers. Both grow well in sunny spots and warm weather.
