Ringo 2000 Deep Red Geranium

Ringo 2000™ Deep Red is an upright, early-flowering seed geranium with a compact habit and red blooms. The breeder lists a mature height of 12–14 inches and width of 10–12 inches, making it useful in small containers, packs, and sunny seasonal beds. ## Garden use This F1 Pelargonium × hortorum is sold as an annual and is suited to full sun. Its spring and summer flowering, neat size, and strong garden vigor make it a practical choice for patios, entry containers, and borders where a compact block of color is wanted. The [Syngenta Flowers profile](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70000816) identifies the Deep Red selection and its dimensions. ## Growing conditions Set plants outdoors after frost in a sunny, well-drained spot. [Iowa State Extension](https://yardandgarden.extension.iastate.edu/how-to/growing-annual-geraniums) advises keeping beds watered during dry spells and checking containers more often as they dry faster. Water at the soil level where possible and avoid saturated potting mix. ## Maintenance Remove spent flower stalks at their base to improve appearance and encourage continued flowering. During hot, dry weather, check pots frequently and water when the surface begins to dry. Treat the plant as seasonal outdoor color in climates with frost; healthy specimens can be overwintered indoors in a bright place.
