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 hot pink flowers and a mounding to semi-trailing habit. Its well branched and vigorous growth habit quickly fills hanging baskets, patio planters and garden beds with vibrant pink colour. Little maintenance required! For best flower display, deadhead or remove spent blooms as needed.
