The detail

The Geranium Calliope M Scarlet Red is a stunning interspecific hybrid pelargonium from the award-winning Calliope series by Syngenta. A cross between zonal and ivy-leaf geraniums, this variety combines the best traits of both parents — producing large, semi-double blooms in a vivid scarlet red, set against rich, dark-green foliage with subtle zonal markings. Renowned for outstanding heat tolerance and continuous flowering, Calliope Scarlet Red delivers bold, long-lasting colour from late spring right through to the first frosts of autumn.

This plant is supplied as a well-established, garden-ready specimen in a 5 Litre root-ball, giving you a head start on a spectacular summer display. Its vigorous, semi-trailing to mounding growth habit makes it equally suited to large patio containers, window boxes, hanging baskets, and sunny border positions.
