Captivating semi-double flowers resemble miniature roses. Ruffled creamy petals are blushed with rosy-pink tones. Remove faded flowers to encourage even more blooms. Flowers are sterile causing longer bloom times.

From the Cocktails? Series bred by Brent Horvath from Intrinsic Perennial Gardens in Hebron, IL. Outstanding color provides a bright display for the early summer perennial border. Butterflies adore Geum.

Geum General Information

"Geum prefer rich, well-drained soil. Some moisture required. Morning sun with afternoon shade is preferred in hot summer climates. Good winter drainage is necessary for survival." Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho at this time.

Geum Plant Care

Can be divided every 2 years or so in early spring or early fall. Cut back spent foliage in summer after flowering for flush of new growth. Deadheading encourages greater flower production.

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!

100% Guarantee

We offer a 100% guarantee for all our perennials to reach you in good condition and to grow. If you're not satisfied, we'll reship or refund immediately. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns—we share your passion for gardening and want your new plants to thrive in your border!
