How to grow
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.

Best plants you will ever get online
I have ordered plants from them twice this year. They arrived well packaged, on time and looked strong and healthy. I feel the staff from Roots plants deal with their plants and customers with passion and care. I can’t wait to order again, price is good as well.
Highly recommended all round
Delivered quickly, perfectly packaged and the tree was in excellent condition. Really healthy and taken to the garden with no problems. Can't recommend highly enough. 5 stars isn't enough!
Satisfied customer
Unlike other online sellers, this company are well ahead in the quality stakes. My plant arrived promptly as per their promise and the plant was much more established and healthy than I had expected. It’s the second time I have ordered from them and I have faith in their promise. Excellent service.
A really good quality tree
A really good quality tree, delivered on time and very well packaged. But the emailed planting advice and supporting information was what really impressed me. Thoroughly recommended.
Exceptional quality
The quality of the plants was exceptional, unlike ones I have had before from local garden centres. Thank you so much. I will definitely be using you again.
Marvellous!
Marvellous service, great plants and fast delivery. Very useful information on how to care for the plants I bought. Easy to use website that makes it far too easy to overindulge in fabulous plants 😂🌱
