Totally Tangerine Geum Plants

Totally Tangerine Geums

Forming a tidy mound , Totally Tangerine produces lovely, long flower stems for months, starting in late May or early June, continuing until October. Geums are perfect for cut flowers. The flowers are especially vivid at dusk. The plants are sterile (won't self-seed), but they will form clumps, which can easily be divided in spring to produce more plants

Growing Totally Tangerine Geums

Geums are easy to grow. They prefer rich, moist soil and plenty of sun, though they don't mind part-shade. However, they are not fussy plants and will cope in pretty much any soil as long as a touch of compost or well-rotted manure is added. Avoid planting in potentially waterlogged areas. Cut out all of the old flowering stems, at ground level, in the autumn.

Garden Design Ideas

Totally Tangerine's long flowering season makes it a good choice for a herbaceous border that enjoys full sun. Why not use it in a blue/orange scheme alongside Geranium Pratenense Mrs. Kendall Clark or Geranium pratenese Azure Skies, combining with our popular Moody Blue collection and Alliums. Would also look fabulous with Penstemon 'Garnet' (Beardtongue), Lupins and New Zealand Wind Grass.

History & Trivia

Introduced at Chelsea Flower Show in 2010, it was originally called Tim's Tangerine after its West Sussex-based breeder, nurseryman Timothy Crowther, who created it in 1999. It's still sold under that name by some nurseries.
