Reach Out™ Light Purple Geranium

Reach Out™ Light Purple is a trailing annual ivy geranium with pale purple flowers, listed by Syngenta at 6–8 inches tall and 10–14 inches wide. The exact product profile gives a mid-spring and summer flowering season and a hardiness range of zones 9a–11a. ## Garden use The trailing habit works well in hanging baskets, window boxes, and containers, where its stems can cascade over the rim. Syngenta lists the selection for full sun and identifies it as pollinator friendly. The product profile also describes the Reach Out series as compact and early flowering, with good container and basket performance: [Syngenta Flowers](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70092151). ## Growing care Grow in fertile, well-drained soil or potting mix, with regular moisture during active growth. Pots dry faster than beds in warm, windy weather, so check them frequently. Annual geraniums benefit from deadheading; remove the entire faded flower stalk where it meets the stem. See [Iowa State University Extension](https://yardandgarden.extension.iastate.edu/how-to/growing-annual-geraniums) for practical annual-geranium care. ## Maintenance Water when the container mix begins to dry and let excess water drain. Remove faded flower stalks to keep the plant tidy and flowering. In regions with frost, grow it as a seasonal annual.
