Calliope® Large White Geranium

Calliope® Large White is a vigorous interspecific geranium with white and cream flowers. Syngenta lists a mounding habit, 16–20 inch garden height and 20–24 inch spread, with flowering from mid-spring through summer. Its large habit is suited to a patio pot, landscape bed or hanging basket. [Syngenta product details](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70087138) ## Placement Use the pale blooms to brighten a container or garden planting, giving the plant room to reach its listed width. The breeder lists part sun to full sun and marks the product as pollinator friendly. Larger pots and baskets suit the broad mounding form. ## Maintenance Plant in fertile, well-drained soil. Water container-grown plants when the soil surface starts to dry, and check more frequently during warm weather. In garden beds, water deeply during dry periods while allowing the soil to drain freely. Remove faded flower clusters for a tidier appearance.
