Pelargonium Interspecific 'Calliope Scarlet Fire'
Home / Our Plants / Hybrid Geranium
Details
'Calliope' represents a new class of geraniums after years of breeding, and 'Calliope Scarlet Fire' may be the most heat tolerant of all red geraniums on the market! This breakthrough plant is a cross between a zonal geranium and an ivy geranium, representing the best features of both. 'Calliope' Scarlet Fire has large flowers, like a zonal geranium, that are semi-double with a semi-trailing habit like that of an ivy geranium. It blooms all-summer long, and is highly heat and drought resistant. Plants grow best in a location with at least four hours of full sun. Calliope is extremely well-branched and its vigorous mounding habit is superb for hanging baskets, mixed containers, window boxes and garden beds.
For best flower display, deadhead or remove spent blooms as needed especially after heavy rain.
