About this Plant

Calliope Large Dark Red Geranium (Pelargonium interspecific hybrid 'Calliope Large Dark Red') is a revolutionary cross between zonal and ivy geraniums, offering the best of both worlds. This variety is famous for its massive, semi-double flower heads in an intense, velvety dark crimson-red. It boasts an exceptionally vigorous, mounding-to-semi-trailing habit that stays lush and packed with blooms even in the face of extreme summer heat and humidity.

As a high-performance member of the Pelargonium genus, 'Calliope' is the ultimate choice for high-impact containers and hanging baskets. Its thick, scalloped green leaves provide a sturdy backdrop for the heavy floral display. Unlike traditional geraniums, this hybrid is bred for superior disease resistance and a "self-cleaning" nature that keeps the plant looking fresh. Why you’ll love it: Unmatched deep red color, incredible heat tolerance, and a robust growth habit that fills large pots and garden beds with ease.

This healthy 4" live flowering plant thrives in full sun and requires regular watering and occasional feeding.
