Alpine balcony geraniums are the Ultimate Geranium.  Popular in Europe, these alpine geraniums cascade heavily from window boxes and balconies.  The Alpines' single blossoms create masses of color. They can survive the heat of summer when other plants often fail.  These amazingly versatile geraniums also do well in partial shade and cooler temperatures. 

Alpines are featured in a variety of colors and  3 growth habits, from the ong and trailing Balcon to the compact "Mini." When planting them, use 4-5 Alpine plants for a 10" hanging basket and 1 plant every 6" in window boxes.

The Balcon Series

Balcons grow long and trailing (up to 4 feet in a season), so they need occasional pinching - once when a stem reaches 10-12" and later, if any stems grow extra-long.  Check our FAQ's page for more info on pinching!
