Growing Totally Tangerine Geums

Geums are easy to grow in rich moist soil and plenty of sun though they don't mind part-shade. They are hardy and cope with all soil as long as a touch of compost or manure is added. Avoid planting in potentially waterlogged areas. Remove all of the old flowering stems in the autumn.

In Your Garden Design

With its long flowering season, this makes for 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 bAzure Skiesb, combining with our popular Moody Blue collection and Alliums. Would also look fabulous with Penstemon 'Garnet' (Beardtongue), Lupins and New Zealand Wind Grass.

History and 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 1999. It is still sold as that by some nurseries.
