Patriot Bright Red Zonal Geranium

Patriot Bright Red Zonal Geranium (Pelargonium x hortorum 'Patriot Bright Red') is a classic, vigorous zonal geranium producing bold, fully double bright red flower clusters above deep green, attractively zoned foliage — a timeless, high-impact combination that delivers rich, saturated red color to containers, window boxes, raised planters, and mixed annual borders from late spring through the first hard frost. The Patriot series is one of the most trusted and widely grown zonal geranium series available, celebrated for its exceptional heat tolerance, prolific non-stop blooming, and strong, well-branched habit that consistently outperforms older geranium varieties through the most demanding summer growing conditions.

Grown from our premium organic heritage program, each plant arrives with a Professional Grade root system — dense, well-branched, and ready for vigorous, immediate establishment. Patriot Bright Red thrives in full sun with well-drained soil and consistent moisture, performing reliably through peak summer heat and humidity with minimal maintenance required. Its bold, saturated red flower clusters and attractive dark-zoned foliage make it an outstanding choice for classic container arrangements, formal planter displays, window box plantings, and mixed annual borders where timeless red geranium color and proven, reliable performance are the priority throughout the entire season.

These 4" healthy live plants thrive in full sun (minimum 6 hours daily) with well-drained soil and consistent moisture — water when the top inch of soil is dry and apply a balanced liquid fertilizer every two weeks to sustain prolific, continuous blooming. Deadhead spent flower clusters regularly to encourage continuous, heavy bloom production throughout the season. Patriot Bright Red is a tender perennial grown as an annual in frost-prone climates; in mild climates it can overwinter indoors as a houseplant for repeat seasons of bold container color.
