About this Plant
Tango Dark Red Geranium (Pelargonium x hortorum 'Tango Dark Red') is a classic redefined for the modern garden. This "zonal" geranium is highly sought after for its intense, velvety deep red flowers that contrast sharply against its exceptionally dark, chocolate-zoned green foliage. The "Tango" series is prized for its compact, well-branched habit, ensuring you get a full, bushy plant that is absolutely loaded with flower power from top to bottom.
As a quintessential member of the Pelargonium genus, 'Tango Dark Red' is the perfect choice for traditional clay pots, window boxes, and mass plantings in sun-drenched borders. It is a sun-loving, drought-tolerant perennial that thrives in the heat of summer. The large, rounded flower umbels are held on sturdy stems, making them resistant to wind and providing an excellent nectar source for local pollinators. This is the go-to variety for that "true" deep red geranium look.
Why you’ll love it:
- Intense Velvety Red: One of the richest, deepest red colors available in the geranium world.
- High-Contrast Foliage: Dark green leaves with a distinct "zone" or ring add architectural interest.
- Stays Compact: Naturally well-branched habit that doesn't get leggy or sparse in the center.
