Geum 'Leonards Variety'

The eye catching petals are a blend of muted red with orange and yellow. The flowers open in abundance spring to summer. Geum ‘Leonard’s Variety’ looks amazing in drifts, at the edge of borders and in cottage gardens. By dead heading during the flowering season you can extend the flowering show. The fuzzy foliage grows low to the ground allowing the flowers to shine.

Geums are highly valued, low growing ground covers or fillers with plenty of flowers. They establish quickly and need little in the way of care. The colourful flowers will adorn your beds with plenty left over to fill your vases.

Geums are relatively shade tolerant and grow best in morning sun. They are easily woven through beds and borders or beneath deciduous trees. Tough, hardy and easy care!

Plant Geums in well drained, humus rich soil. Water well to establish, plants take around four weeks to establish and should be watered every other day during this time. Once established they are dry tolerant. Remove spent flower heads (back to the previous join of the branching stems) to encourage more blooms during the growing season, late in the season allow the seed heads to form for autumn/winter value.
