Sure to stand out, Pelargonium ‘Calliope Soft Coral’ makes quite an impression. A cross between zonale and ivy-leaved varieties, it takes the best attributes from both sides, for crinkled, semi-trailing aromatic foliage and a profusion of velvety blooms from May to October. Wonderfully versatile, whether planted in borders, baskets, rockeries, or containers you will have up to six months of sizzling colour. Preferring to be grown in moist, well-drained soil, of any type, which benefits from full sun or partial shade, it will reach a mature height and spread of around 45cm. Deadhead spent blooms as you notice them to ensure a long-lasting display. Pelargonium ‘Calliope Soft Coral’ is a tender, semi-evergreen perennial which can be overwintered above 5°C, in a conservatory or greenhouse for many years and is easily propagated from cuttings.
