Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Because it?s sterile this large (30" x 18") Geum produces an INcredible number (5 times more, it?s said!) of large bright apricot-tangerine flowers over an all-summer-long season; ?a top performer?. S/M PPAF
A clump forming perennial, with a rosette of softly hairy, pinnate leaves. In Spring and Summer, semi-double, tangerine, anemone-like flowers, are borne on tall branching stems. One of the few brightly coloured flowers for shade. Attractive foliage goes well with violets and primulas.Well drained soil. A lot tougher than you might think.

Bountiful masses of juicy apricot blooms on 24-30" branching stems add a splash of cheer for months & months on what may be the most FLORIFEROUS & LONG BLOOMING Geum ever! Seriously, word is it produces five times as many flowers as other Geums. A fast grower, the flower show begins in late Spring continuing through Summer attracting butterflies from near & far. Fuzzy foliage forms a cute & compact clump 18" wide & 14" tall. For those of you in hotter spots, a bit of afternoon shade is preferred.? If you have never tried Geums before, they're one of the toughest, heat tolerant & longest lived perennials you'll ever grow! Deadhead for the ultimate flower fest. Compost yearly & cut back in Winter.
