Geranium Calliope (Geranium)
Color Name: Calliope® Deep Rose
The stunning flowers are semi-double and deep rose in color. The glossy green leaves and the semi-trailing habit are like that of an ivy geranium. It blooms all summer long even in low light conditions. Highly heat and drought resistant. Calliope geraniums are great for landscapes, baskets and containers.
Growing Tips: Calliope Geraniums will have you singing with joy because of their versatility. They were developed by crossing zonal (upright) geraniums with ivy geraniums. As a result, they will tolerate less sunlight. Make sure to water your geraniums regularly and, if possible, early in the day to avoid standing water on leaves overnight, which may lead to disease. Geraniums prefer well drain soil and appreciate an appropriate dose of water soluble fertilizer. We suggest fertilizing every two weeks during the hot summer months of June, July and August with Maxsea, which you can purchase at Zehr's. You will need to deadhead your Geraniums for continuous blooming. With proper care, your geraniums will bring you joy with big, lush beautiful blooms!
