Geum is an excellent little plant that is often underutilized. It is easy to grow and works very well for adding hints of red to a landscape. Flowers are are 1½” and grow on long stems that spread through the landscape creating pops of red that create an incredible accent for dense flower plantings. Flowers grow to 24” in height, but stems arch and reach causing final height to vary considerably. It is a good plant for the middle of a garden bed. Just like painting or decorating - we know that color when used sparingly can have a dramatic effect and Geum ‘Blazing Sunset’ is a perfect plant to achieve that effect.

Easily grown and underutilized, Geum tolerates a wide variety of weathers and soil conditions with little complaint. Hot summers and cold winters create no problems for this tough little flower, which can grow in a variety of well drained soil conditions. Divide plants frequently for stronger, more consistent blooms.
