Ivy League™ Cherry Blossom Geranium

Ivy League™ Cherry Blossom is a semi-trailing ivy geranium selection with pink/rose bicolor flowers. Syngenta lists a mature garden size of 12–16 inches tall by 20–24 inches wide, with flowering from mid-spring through summer. Its branching, spreading habit makes it suited to baskets and containers where the stems can extend over the edge. ([Syngenta Flowers](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70074821)) ## Placement Grow in part sun or full sun. The broad, semi-trailing form is useful in hanging baskets, window boxes, and patio containers, and the breeder identifies the Ivy League series as heat tolerant. The flowers are listed as pollinator friendly. Keep this plant in a position where its 20–24 inch spread has room. ## Care Use a well-drained potting mix and water when the mix begins to dry; containers may need more frequent checks in hot, dry weather. Iowa State Extension notes that annual geraniums flower less with reduced sunlight and that container-grown plants require frequent watering during hot, dry weather.
