More About Geranium ‘Savannah® Lavender Splash’

Savannah® Lavender Splash offers a unique floral presentation with soft lavender blooms accented by creamy white splash patterning. The bicolor effect adds visual interest and refinement, making it a standout choice in containers and focal plantings. Each flower cluster feels decorative without appearing busy.

The plant maintains the same uniform structure and heat tolerance that define the Savannah® series. Its compact habit and strong stems ensure flowers remain upright and well-displayed throughout the season.

Why We Like It (Our Trials)

n our trials, Savannah® Lavender Splash consistently delivered strong overall plant health paired with reliable flower production throughout the growing season. The distinctive lavender blooms with creamy white splash patterning remained clear and well-defined, even during periods of high heat when patterned varieties often blur or lose contrast. Flower clusters were held upright on sturdy stems, keeping the bicolor effect visible and intentional rather than busy or muddled.

We were equally impressed with the plant’s structure and ease of maintenance. Savannah® Lavender Splash maintained a compact, evenly branched habit without stretching or thinning, making it easy to integrate into containers and landscape plantings. We especially like it for gardeners who want a unique, decorative color effect without sacrificing the durability and low-maintenance performance that define the Savannah® series.

Savannah® Lavender Splash vs. Other Geraniums

Savannah® Lavender Splash stands out as the most decorative and visually unique variety in the Savannah® Series. Its lavender blooms with creamy white splash patterning add movement and interest without sacrificing uniformity or plant strength. While still compact and heat tolerant, this variety leans more expressive than the rest of the lineup.

Compared to Savannah® Blue, Lavender Splash offers pattern rather than solid color, creating a more ornamental effect. Against Savannah® White, the splash pattern becomes more pronounced and eye-catching. When paired with Savannah® Really Red or Oh So Orange, it softens bold color blocks with visual texture. Compared to Light Salmon, it feels more playful and artistic. Gardeners choose it when they want something distinctive without added maintenance.
