Rocky Mountain™ Orange Geranium

The Rocky Mountain™ Orange zonal geranium produces orange/peach/apricot flower clusters above an upright, mounding plant. Syngenta lists the Rocky Mountain series for part sun or full sun, with flowering from mid-spring through summer; its garden size is about 14–18 inches tall and 16–20 inches wide. The series is noted for vigorous growth, heat tolerance, and garden performance. ([Syngenta Flowers: Rocky Mountain™ Orange](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70004111)) ## Garden Use Use this seasonal geranium in sunny beds, patio containers, and larger mixed pots. Set plants outdoors after frost danger has passed, and give them room to reach the listed mature width. ([Iowa State University Extension](https://yardandgarden.extension.iastate.edu/how-to/growing-annual-geraniums)) ## Growing Conditions Plant in fertile, well-drained soil. Water garden beds during dry spells; check containers frequently in warm weather because they dry more quickly. Direct water to the soil and allow excess to drain. Annual geraniums flower best in bright conditions, while part sun is also listed for this series. ## Maintenance Remove faded flower stalks at their base to keep plants tidy and encourage continued bloom. Before frost, healthy plants may be brought indoors as potted plants or saved from cuttings.
