Maverick™ Quicksilver Pelargonium

Maverick™ Quicksilver is an annual garden geranium, Pelargonium × hortorum, with vigorous upright growth and large flowers. Syngenta lists this selection as a heat lover and pollinator-friendly, with flowering from mid-spring through summer. ## Flowers and growth Syngenta’s exact product profile gives a mature height of 14–16 inches and width of 12–14 inches, with an upright habit and full-sun exposure. It describes vigorous plants that fill larger pots quickly and flower freely through the season. The listed container options include hanging baskets as well as pots, making this selection useful for sunny patios and raised displays. See [Syngenta’s Maverick Quicksilver profile](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70020524). ## Growing conditions Plant outdoors after frost danger passes. Clemson Extension recommends well-drained soil, regular watering while letting the soil dry between waterings, and enough direct sun for good flowering. In very hot areas, a few hours of midday shade may help. Avoid allowing plants to wilt, and keep water off foliage when possible. See the [Clemson Extension geranium guide](https://hgic.clemson.edu/factsheet/geranium/). ## Maintenance Remove faded flower clusters to prolong flowering, and pinch young shoots if a fuller, more branched plant is desired. Check containers regularly in hot or windy weather because their mix can dry faster than garden soil.
