Description
Geum 'Lisanne'
Height x Spread: 30cm x 35cm
Clusters of bright lemon flowers demurely nodding on arching reddish-green, fuzzy stems above clumps of bright green foliage. This very elegant and sunny Geum flowers from late April through to midsummer.
Semi evergreen, it is ideal for planting at the front of a cottage garden border, its clump-forming nature helping to keep the weeds down, even through milder winters. It makes a vibrant and interesting choice for a gravel or rock garden too. Undemanding, 'Lisanne' will grow in any soil with some richness and good drainage. It prefers a sunny to partially shaded spot.
