Geranium PARTY LIGHTS™ ‘Purple’

Common Name:
Party Lights Purple Geranium

Description:
Geranium PARTY LIGHTS™ ‘Purple’ is a compact, long-flowering perennial geranium cultivar that produces masses of rich magenta‑purple flowers over an extended season. Its low, spreading habit makes it ideal for filling garden gaps, cascading over edges, or in containers. The foliage is soft green and forms a neat mound that complements the abundant blooms. In Melbourne’s climate, this variety performs best in full sun to part shade with well‑drained soil. Regular deadheading encourages continual flowering. The plant can tolerate some dry periods once established but benefits from a deep watering during heatwaves. Light pruning after flowering helps maintain shape and vitality.
