Which geum?
Many geums come in warm, sunset tones (and even bicolours) - these make a lovely addition to the front or middle of a border. For a more informal look, plant them randomly amongst other low and medium growing plants. Geum rivale is a variety which grows well in waterlogged soil so it’s ideal for pond edges - the rest prefer a well draining site.

Planting schemes and partners
Geums are trouble free plants, not even slugs bother them! Plant them in full sun or partial shade and keep deadheading them to get maximum flowers. It’s a good idea to divide your plants every three years to keep them healthy and vigorous. Water your geums well after planting and they’ll soon become drought tolerant.

Geum FAQs
When is the best time to plant geums in the UK?
Plant your geums at any time of year when the ground is workable. The best times are in spring or autumn, as they’ll have time to settle before the very warm or very cold weather comes along.
Where should I plant geums in my garden?
Geums will grow happily in a position with full sun or partial shade. Your soil should be well drained to prevent waterlogging, and nutrient rich - mix in some compost or manure before planting if your soil is a bit dry or sandy.
How do I care for geum plants?
Geums are easy to care for - just water them regularly until they're established, then in early spring each year, add a fresh layer of mulch around the plants to help keep moisture in and weeds out.
Do geum plants need pruning?
You don’t have to prune your geums, but you can tidy them up by trimming back the foliage in early spring, which also promotes new growth. Keep deadheading the flowers (removing the faded blooms) throughout the season to encourage more to grow.
How do I propagate geum plants?
You can make new geum plants by dividing them in spring or autumn, when the plant isn’t flowering. Dig up the plant clump and separate it into smaller clumps, making sure that each has healthy roots on it. Replant the small clumps and water them well until they’re established.

Plants arrived in great condition and very promptly. Well established - much better than the ones I got at my local garden centre.

I continue to be so impressed with Roots. Their customer care, knowledge of their subject: from planting hedges to pruning roses and more, has been a great support.
