Geum “Blazing Sunset”

Avens
Geum “Blazing Sunset”
Type: Evergreen Perennial
Exposure: Sun / Part Shade
Water: Regular

This easy-to-care-for perennial features brilliant vermillion half-globe blooms that rise above the foliage in late spring/ early summer. Unlike many geums (many of which are named after cocktails, for some reason), these blooms are semi to fully double, and are a popular candidate for cut flower arrangements. The evergreen foliage forms a low clump of coarse green leaves to 18in (45cm) wide, with the flower stocks rising to 2ft (60cm) high. Repeat blooming can be encouraged by cutting off spent blossoms.

Cheers,
