Bullseye Red Geranium

BullsEye Red is a red-flowered zonal pelargonium in the BullsEye series, grown for rounded flower heads set against foliage with a dark central zone. Ball Seed identifies the botanical crop as Pelargonium × hortorum and lists an upright, mounded habit, sun exposure, and use in gardens, landscapes, and mixed containers. [Its plant record](https://info.ballseed.com/PlantInfo/?phid=028704208004463) gives the selection-specific growing details. ### Color and placement Use the red blooms as a strong color block in a sunny bed or as the central accent in a mixed container. The compact, branched habit can also fill a patio pot without requiring a large planting area. Ball Seed reports large flower heads and notes that the dark foliage zone remains visible across light conditions. ### Growing conditions This is a tender warm-season bedding plant rather than a cold-hardy cranesbill. Give it sun and moderate water, with drainage through the container or bed. Ball Seed lists a 13–15 inch garden height and an 11–13 inch width; allow space for the full mound and avoid crowding neighboring plants. Its source listing also identifies heat tolerance and butterfly visits. ## Maintenance Check containers regularly in warm weather because potting mix dries faster than garden soil. Water when the mix begins to dry, then allow excess water to drain. Remove damaged leaves and spent flower clusters to keep the display tidy, and protect the plant from frost when temperatures approach its listed 32°F hardiness degree.
