Description
Geum Scarlet Tempest ('Macgeu001'PBR) (Tempest Series)
Height x Spread: 55cm x 50cm
Striking, semi double, apricot suffused scarlet flowers appear on slender, hairy branching stems above mid green clumping foliage. Here it flowered from late April to late September, its stunning colour stopping people in their tracks.
A fantastic container plant, it combines beautifully with purples, white, pale pinks and blues in a border. A must-have plant, you will be the envy of your friends. Just regularly deadhead and remove stems that stop flowering to encourage fresh growth. It thrives in a sunny to partially shaded site in any good, free draining soil.
This knock-out plant wowed RHS Chelsea in 2016 and was awarded runner-up to Plant of the Year.
