Geranium Calliope Med Crimson Flame
Compact, vigorous bedding geranium with striking bicolor blooms—deep crimson centers flamed with vivid white edges. Calliope Med Crimson Flame is ideal for containers, hanging baskets, window boxes, and mixed beds where bold color in a low-maintenance package is desired.
Key Features
Flower: Double to semi-double blooms, rich crimson with crisp white margins; continuous flowering from spring through frost in favorable conditions.
Habit: Compact, mounded growth 10–14 inches tall and 12–18 inches wide—great for mass planting or small spaces.
Foliage: Glossy, dark green leaves that provide a tidy backdrop to abundant flowers.
Light: Full sun to part sun; best flowering and most compact habit in full sun.
Water & Soil: Well-drained soil; moderate water needs—allow topsoil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot.
Hardiness: Typically grown as an annual in most climates; performs exceptionally well as a seasonal container plant.
Uses: Containers, hanging baskets, window boxes, edging, landscape massing, and mixed-planter displays.
Maintenance: Deadheading not required but removing spent blooms promotes tidiness and can encourage more blooms; pinch back early in the season for a bushier plant.
Planting & Care Tips
Plant spacing: 10–12 inches for mounded displays; slightly closer in containers.
Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2–4 weeks during active growth for vigorous bloom production.
Pest & Disease: Watch for common pests like aphids and whiteflies; avoid overwatering to reduce risk of fungal diseases.
Seasonal note: Protect from heavy frost; in mild climates, it may rebloom after trimming.
Why choose Calliope Med Crimson Flame? This variety delivers eye-catching, long-lasting color in a compact form—perfect for gardeners who want dramatic contrast without constant maintenance. Its reliable flowering and attractive habit make it a standout choice for both beginner and experienced gardeners.
