Fantasia® Pink Geranium

Fantasia® Pink is a compact, upright zonal geranium with vibrant pink flowers set against dark leaves. [Ball FloraPlant](https://www.ballfloraplant.com/Products/Details/?phid=028901762004054) identifies the selection as Pelargonium × hortorum Fantasia® Pink (Tosfanpink) and places it in a uniform, medium-vigor series for containers and garden color. ## Seasonal interest This tender annual brings warm-season color to beds, borders, and patio planters. [Illinois Extension](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/geranium) describes annual geraniums as flowering from May through October; the breeder characterizes Fantasia as a dark-leaved line with bright blooms. ## Placement Plant in full sun and moist, fertile, well-drained soil. [Ball FloraPlant](https://www.ballfloraplant.com/Products/Details/?phid=028901762004054) lists a mature height and spread of about 12–14 inches and recommends Fantasia geraniums for 5-inch or larger pots and hanging baskets. Its compact upright shape suits the front or middle of a seasonal border and small grouped plantings. ## Maintenance Use a container with drainage and avoid keeping the soil saturated, especially during hot weather. Pinch or remove faded flower clusters to keep the plant neat and encourage continued bloom. [Illinois Extension](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/geranium) recommends deadheading annual geraniums both for flowering and to lessen botrytis. Plant outdoors after frost danger has passed and replace the plant when cold weather ends its season.
