Geum 'Mai Tai'
- Part of the perenially popular Cocktails series, 'Mai Tai' is a truly gorgeous geum, sporting ruffled, coral-hued semi-double blooms from late spring to the end of summer.
- The flowers are held aloft a backdrop of lovely, lobed leaves and will bloom continually throughout the season if deadheaded.
- Perfect for both beds and borders, as well as sunny patios, 'Mai Tai' can be used in a wide range of planting schemes, including cottage, contemporary and casual gardens. What's more, it's incredibly easy to grow!
- Popular with pollinating insects, this variety is known for attracting bees and butterflies, offering a source of food for a relatively long season when compared against many other perennials.
- Plant alongside ornamental grasses, geraniums and salvias for a well-rounded garden aesthetic that rewards you with visual interest the whole summer long.
