GERANIUM, Calliope™ Lavender Rose

Calliope is a cross-species hybrid of a Zonal and Ivy Geranium representing a breakthrough in floral genetics. This geranium is tolerant of drought and heat, adding life and outstanding colour all summer long. It features large, semi-double flowers and a mounding to semi-trailing habit.
