Geranium Pelargonium zonale Patriot 'Bright Violet'
Zonal Geranium
Brilliant red-violet clusters bloom just above the rich foliage of the Patriot Bright Violet Geranium. The Patriot Geranium produces a deep green foliage with a very faint zonal pattern. They are desired most for their beautiful foliage, extraordinary showy blooms extending above the foliage, proven tolerance for heat and its mounding habit. This is a great annual for Spring, Summer, and Fall. With the mounding habit of the Patriot Geranium and early, abundant blooms, this is a perfect choice for mixed containers and beds.

Homeowner Growing & Maintenance Tips
The Patriot Geranium prefers full sun to partial shade. It matures to about 24-30” tall and about 12-24” wide and prefers average, moist but well-drained soil. Trimming back dead blossoms encourages new blooms. Please remember, containers aren’t as drought resistant, they may need a little extra TLC and consistent watering if in containers!
