Fantasia® Flamingo Rose Geranium

Fantasia® Flamingo Rose is a compact, upright zonal geranium with rounded clusters of coral-pink flowers above dark foliage. [Ball FloraPlant](https://www.ballfloraplant.com/Products/Details/?phid=028901762007025) identifies this selection as Pelargonium × hortorum Fantasia® Flamingo Rose (Tosfanflam), a warm-season bedding plant for sunny beds and containers. ## Seasonal interest [Moss Greenhouses](https://mossgreenhouses.com/product/geranium-fantasia-flamingo-rose/) describes its coral-pink blooms from late spring to early fall, while [Illinois Extension](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/geranium) lists annual geraniums as tender annuals that typically flower from May through October. The breeder lists the Fantasia series as medium in vigor with dark leaves that contrast against bright flowers. ## Placement Grow in full sun and moist, fertile, well-drained soil. [Ball FloraPlant](https://www.ballfloraplant.com/Products/Details/?phid=028901762007025) gives this selection a compact-upright habit and a typical mature height and spread of 12–14 inches; its Fantasia line is suited to larger pots and hanging baskets. The rounded clusters also make stems useful for cutting. ## Maintenance Water to keep the root zone from drying out for long periods, while letting excess drain away. Avoid overwatering during hot weather. Remove faded flower clusters to keep the plant tidy and encourage continued bloom; [Illinois Extension](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/geranium) notes that deadheading also helps lessen botrytis. Treat it as a seasonal annual where winters bring frost.
