Maverick™ Appleblossom Pelargonium

Maverick™ Appleblossom is an upright zonal geranium with pink and rose flowers. Syngenta lists it at 14–16 inches tall and 12–14 inches wide, with flowering from mid-spring through summer. Its vigorous growth and large blooms bring color to sunny beds and patio containers. ## Placement Grow in full sun. Place it in a border or a container with room for an upright, medium-sized plant. ([Syngenta Flowers](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70020496)) ## Care Use well-drained soil or potting mix and water regularly, with extra attention to containers in warm weather. Iowa State Extension notes that annual geraniums flower less in reduced sunlight and that container-grown plants need frequent watering in hot, dry weather.

Remove spent flowers as needed to keep the plant neat and encourage a clean display.
