Care Guide
Good Pest and Disease Resistance
This variety can have issues with Aphids. To combat aphids you can pick away the bugs with your hands and also wash the infested areas down with soapy water.MORE
Water Regularly in Summer
Geums thrive in moist soil so you must ensure the ground does not dry out. During hot and dry periods this could require you having to water the plant as much as once a day in mid-summer.
Full Sun
Plant somewhere the plant will receive 6-8 hours of direct sunlight every day.
Average, Well-Drained Soil
Geums need well-drained soils. If you soil is clay-heavy you may want to improve drainage by adding organic matter such as compost, as well as perlite or gravel.
Feed Regularly
Feed every two to three weeks during the spring period with a high-potash feed such as liquid tomato feed until the plant has finished flowering.
