Description
Calliope M Crimson Flame geranium produces eye-catching crimson-toned flowers on a full, mounding plant. Its bold color stands out in patio containers, hanging baskets, and sunny garden displays.
Growing in Alabama
Choose full sun with well-drained, nutrient-rich soil or potting mix. Water when the top of the mix starts to dry, keeping roots moist but never waterlogged. Feed regularly but lightly during active growth, and remove faded flower clusters or damaged leaves as needed. In Alabama summers, afternoon shade and good airflow can help container geraniums through stretches of extreme heat and humidity.
Habit: Medium Calliope series, with a bushy, somewhat spreading shape. Winter care: Protect from frost; it is generally grown as a seasonal annual in Alabama.
