Tango Violet Geranium

Tango™ Violet is a compact zonal geranium grown as a warm-season annual for violet flowers and deep green foliage. Syngenta identifies it as Pelargonium zonale in the Tango series and lists a mounding, upright habit, 10–12 inch height and spread, and flowering from mid-spring into summer ([Syngenta Flowers](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70020484)); a Canadian variety record links the Tango Violet trade name to the cultivar designation Clips Vio ([Canadian Food Inspection Agency](https://active.inspection.gc.ca/francais/plaveg/pbrpov/cropreport/pel/app00002854f.shtml)). ## Garden use Use the compact plants in pots, window boxes, or the front of sunny beds, where repeated flower clusters provide a concentrated seasonal color block. Full sun or part sun suits the breeder’s growing guidance. The 10–12 inch mature dimensions fit mixed planters and other small spaces. ## Maintenance Grow in a free-draining container or border mix and water when the surface begins to dry; avoid leaving the root zone waterlogged. Remove faded flower clusters to keep the plant tidy. In cold-winter climates, protect it from frost or treat it as seasonal bedding because Syngenta lists it among annuals.
