Solera™ Fuchsia Geranium (Pelargonium interspecific 'TOSPL180438') captivates the eye with its bold magenta flowers that appear continuously throughout the warmer months. It typically grows about 12 to 18 inches tall, displaying lush green foliage that underscores the intensity of each bloom. This selection combines extended color with a compact habit well-suited for patio containers. Its prolific flower production and resilient nature position it as an ideal choice for gardeners seeking reliable beauty.

A naturally robust hybrid, Solera™ Fuchsia Geranium traces its origins to both African and European geranium stock. We appreciate its moderate drought tolerance and minimal pest issues. In decorative borders or large group plantings, the bright blooms create a lively focal point, and the plant also works well in window boxes or containers. Deer tend to bypass these geraniums, allowing for hassle-free growth in many settings.

Solera™ Fuchsia Geranium Care

Provide this geranium with full sun to partial shade, depending on local heat levels. Plant it in well-draining soil enriched with organic matter, and maintain a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Water regularly during peak growth, then ease off once the plant is established, though occasional deep watering in hot spells boosts performance. Feed every two to four weeks with a balanced fertilizer for steady bloom production.

Deadheading spent flower heads encourages more buds to appear throughout the season. Pinching or trimming any leggy stems can help keep the shape neat, and thinning out congested growth encourages healthy airflow. Cut back the plant to prepare for winter dormancy. In colder climates, consider bringing potted specimens indoors, maintaining lower watering levels during winter dormancy.

Solera™ Fuchsia Geranium Spacing

Allow 12 to 15 inches between plants for mass plantings, giving each root system adequate room. If placed in a single display, one plant will need similar space on all sides to fill out properly. A container measuring at least 10 inches wide accommodates a young geranium, while larger pots can be used for mixed arrangements or mature specimens.
