A pretty, intensely coloured pelargonium which is a cross between zonale and ivy-leaved varieties. Pelargonium ‘Calliope Rose Splash’ is an exciting new colourway for 2024 and we love the paler pink outer and rich rose pink ‘splash’ to the interior of each petal. The Calliope hybrid combines the best features of both its parents for crinkled, semi-trailing aromatic foliage and a profusion of velvety blooms from May to October. Plants have exceptional heat, drought and shade tolerance along with a greater intensity and longevity of colour for an outstanding performance. Plant in borders, baskets, rockeries and containers in any moist, well-drained soil which benefits from full sun or partial shade. Deadhead spent blooms as you notice them to ensure a long-lasting display. A compact and well-branched variety growing to a height and spread of up to 45cm. Pelargonium ‘Calliope Rose Splash’ is a tender, semi-evergreen perennial which can be overwintered in a conservatory or greenhouse for
