Geranium

Calliope Large Rose Hot

The Calliope geranium is a breakthrough in breeding as it combines the best features of ivy and zonal geraniums into one remarkable plant. It is heat and drought tolerant, thrives in full sun conditions but also performs well in partial sun. The bloom power is fantastic and Calliope has a wide range of color to choose from. The Calliope Large Rose Hot is a firey, bright pink color and works well in hanging baskets or containers, mixed or on its own. Calliope geraniums perform remarkably well in landscape beds requiring moderate maintenance to keep fresh. We would say it's a winner wherever you choose to use Calliope Geraniums.
