Geums are a popular plant, especially with garden designers and nowadays you will see them in many show gardens. They are abundant, frilly, often double blooms which spread to offer ground covering, herbaceous or semi-evergreen, pollinator-enticing interest. The three varieties in this ‘Generous Geum Collection’ emerge in the spring sunshine and continue to flower through to early autumn. Your collection comprises; Geum ‘Foxy Tempest’ – exciting new, fiery orange and gold, semi-double with ruffled flowers. Geum ‘Solar Tempest’ - vibrant yellow, compact, flamboyant, and highly floriferous. and Geum ‘Scarlet Tempest’ – vibrant red and orange petals, around a yellow centre. Geum also look sensational in floral arrangements, with the blooms in this collection staggered across April to September each year – giving six months of fantastic flowers for borders, vases and container planting. Prized by pollinators and full of sunny hues to warm up areas in need of a colour injection, plants in the ‘Generous Geum Collection’ prefer a moist, well-drained soil of any type except heavy clay. Position in full sun or partial shade where these fully hardy and hardy herbaceous perennials will reach a height of 50-75cm and spread of 30-50cm.
