Geranium Zonal Calliope® 'Dark Red'

Calliope® 'Dark Red' Geranium spreads more than other varieties of zonal geraniums, creating beautiful mounds of dense green foliage, topped by lush, dark red blooms from late spring right up until freeze. That means this geranium will work well in container planters and hanging baskets as a filler/spiller, or as a seasonal ground cover of sorts in garden borders. Sun is required for best blooming, and regular watering and fertilizer will help immensely, though once established in the ground, geraniums are drought-tolerant. Deadheading spent blooms will keep those velvety-red flowers coming, so break out the secateurs!
