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. Its well branched and vigorous growth habit quickly fills hanging baskets, patio planters and garden beds with rose-red colour. Little maintenance required! For best flower display, deadhead or remove spent blooms as needed.
