Moxie!™ Dark Red Geranium

Moxie!™ Dark Red is a compact, mounding interspecific geranium with red flowers. Syngenta lists a 12–14 inch garden height and 14–16 inch spread, part sun to full sun, mid-spring through summer flowering, and hardiness zone 10a. ## Placement Its rounded, space-efficient form suits containers and the front of seasonal beds, where the dark red flowers can add a concentrated block of color. Plan for a mature width of about 14–16 inches; the Moxie! series is designed for small-pot production and compact garden use. ## Growing Conditions This selection is sold as an annual and is listed as a heat lover. Most annual geraniums do best in fertile, well-drained soil. Give it sun for strong flowering, with part sun also suitable according to the breeder. Water beds during dry spells and check containers more often in hot weather, when potting mix dries quickly.

Water the root zone rather than keeping foliage wet for long periods.
