Geum 'Fireball'

A long flowering Geum with plenty of well branched stems. The semi double, dazzling red flowers look spectacular close up and sizzle from afar. Geum ‘Fireball’ is a strong growing, preeminent garden performer and the beneficial insects love them.

Geum 'Fireball’ is stunning in flower beds and will mingle well with blue flowering and grey foliage plants. The foliage is low growing, with lobed, mid green leaves. The low leaves and narrow flower stems makes them ideal for the front to middle of your beds and perfect to combine with spring flowering bulbs.

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.

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.
