You will see geums festooning show gardens the length and breadth of this country. Popular with designers, these versatile and spectacularly low-maintenance plants are invaluable for filling the spaces around those with a shorter flowering period, such as iris, allium and lilium. Blooming long and hard from mid spring onwards, geum also bridge what can be the scarce gap between spring and summer; their delicate, colourful, wiry-stemmed flowers providing a welcome constant through the transition. What's more, their seedheads can be left as an attractive autumn feature, and the evergreen to semi-evergreen foliage provides good-looking groundcover throughout the winter. In this collection are three sumptuous and sought-after varieties. You receive: Coral Tempest - a vigorous variety with a longer flowering season than most other Geum. Several huge frilly blooms in shades of orange and salmon, are held high on each wiry stem above pretty mounds of lush attractive weed-suppressing semi-evergreen foliage, for up to six months each year.Scarlet Tempest - Compact, flamboyant, and highly floriferous, Scarlet Tempest is a jewel in your garden flowering in a fashionable and trendy colour. Petticoat Peach - Ruffled peach petals gather around a yellow centre, like a frilly skirt, Geum 'Petticoat Peach'' is aptly named, . neat, flashy, with an abundance of blooms.For best results plant in any moisture retentive yet well-draining soil in full sun. Geum are as hardy as it gets, able to withstand temperatures of -20 C and beyond.
