Geum

Geum quellyon  

Just when you’re yearning for more warmth, this hardy perennial delights with red/orange semi-double 2” blooms in late spring and continues blooming for the months of summer and into early fall if regularly dead-headed.  Long, 30-36” thin but strong stems rise up out of a diminutive base of fuzzy, toothed, evergreen leaves.  Geum flowers hold well in the vase and provide airy texture to mixed flower bouquets.  They also make a great border plant and their compact based earns them a choice place in the rock garden.  FLA.
