Geum ‘Scarlet Tempest’ (PBR) – 2 litre pot

Geum ‘Scarlet Tempest’ produces semi-double, scarlet flowers on top of tall stems. ‘Scarlet Tempest’ is a sterile hybrid. It is a prolific flowering plant that will provide colour throughout the late spring into the summer. Removing heads after flowering will encourage flower production. Geums attract pollinators. Geums are frost tolerant and will thrive in a range of soil types.

Care instructions:
– Avoid planting directly in the frozen soil.
– Container planting is possible throughout the year; use containers that are large and deep enough to prevent roots from freezing the in the winter, and ensure there are drainage holes in the bottom of the container.
– Water well after planting. Avoid waterlogged conditions in winter.
– Deadheading after flowering will encourage growth and new flower production. Cut back to ground level from late autumn or after the first frost.
– Feeding is not required during the first flowering season. Use balanced organic fertilisers to feed older plants in March/ April and repeat in July/August.
– To keep the plants looking fresh divide the clumps every 2 to 3 years.
