Geum Blazing Sunset 17Cm Pot

Description

Common Name: Avens, Geum
 

From the Thompson & Morgan breeding program comes this delightful fully double, scarlet red geum. Its flowers measure up to 50% larger than other varieties and they continue to bloom over a very long period from late spring into summer. Enjoy them as a cut flower in fresh bouquets.

The fuzzy, green leaves form an attractive mound that makes a good filler for the front or middle of the flower border.

Geum is a fast grower that is rarely bothered by pests or diseases.

How to Grow

Easy to grow and underused in today's gardens. Geum adapts well to both hot summers and cold winters without complaint. This species prefers moist soil with good drainage. In southern regions, protection from hot afternoon sun will improve the look and health of the foliage.

Geum should be divided frequently; young or newly divided plants bloom longer and stronger than older ones. Deadheading will promote a longer flowering time and rebloom.
