Mom and Dad's Gigantic Geranium

Mom and Dad's front porch always looks so pretty in the summer, but this year I think it looks extra special.
The addition of two lush spider plants and a gigantic geranium to their three tiered hanging basket is a fantastic effect.
This geranium has grown at an unbelievable rate this summer. We have been wondering if geraniums will grow to fit the size of the container? Does anyone know?
Other geraniums they planted in smaller containers haven't grown to the large size this one has.
Isn't it gorgeous?
