Plant Guardians

Geum ‘Tinpenny Orange’


Description:

Bred by Elaine Horton of Tinpenny Plants and named in 2003. Single, bright orange flowers with anthers to match. Toothed and furrowed leaves. Geum grow best in moist but well-drained soil in a position of full sun to partial shade. Divide plants every three years to maintain vigour, cutting back after first flowering may encourage a further, lesser repeat flowering.
