Pelargonium 'Calliope Landscape Fire' (Zonal-ivy hybrid Geranium)

Common name: Geranium 'Calliope Landscape Fire'

Description: Pelargonium 'Calliope Landscape Fire' is a bold and striking semi-trailing pelargonium producing vivid, eye-catching blooms in a warm mix of fiery orange-red tones, with each flower head creating a vibrant, flame-like effect. Like all Calliope varieties, it combines the vigour and trailing habit of ivy-leaf geraniums with the dense, rounded flower heads and rich colouring of zonal types. It flowers continuously from spring to the first frosts and performs reliably across a wide range of conditions, making it one of the most impactful choices for summer container displays and hanging baskets.
