A lovely flowing of cream, pink and rose "watercolors" the ruffled petals of these semi-double flowers spring-into-early summer (sterile flowers provide the long bloom) on sturdy 24" stems. S/M PPAF

Shipping in early MAY. Late spring-early summer semi double blossoms in the loveliest shades of peachy pink…attractive to butterflies, unattractive to deer and great for cutting. Plants in bloom are 20-24" tall, and clump up nicely to 15" wide. Divide when the clumps grow past their limits. Geum like a moisture retentive soil, but are easy and long lived. This selection is one hybridized by Brent Horvath of Intrinsic Perennials.

From the Cocktails Series by Brent Horvath comes 'Cosmopolitan', a geum with semi-double flowers that look like miniature roses. Petals are cream with flushes and edges of rose-pink color. The plants are compact with slightly glossy, lighter green foliage. Exhibits hybrid vigour and longer life than other cultivars. Easy and carefree. Deer resistant.
