Geum
Geum:
Geum, also known as Avens or Blazing Star, is a genus of herbaceous perennial plants prized for their stunning, cup-shaped flowers that bloom in a vibrant array of colours, including reds, oranges, yellows, and pinks.
Native to Europe and Asia, geums are a popular choice for UK gardeners due to their:
- Easy-going nature: Thrive in well-drained soil and tolerate partial shade, making them ideal for a variety of garden locations.
- Long flowering season: Typically bloom from late spring to early autumn, providing continuous colour throughout the summer months.
- Low maintenance: Once established, geums require minimal care, making them perfect for busy gardeners.
Available in a range of heights and varieties, geums can be used to:
- Add bursts of colour to borders and beds.
- Create low-maintenance planting schemes.
- Fill gaps in existing borders.
- Bring colour and texture to container displays.

Growing Tips Choose the right pot.
Choose a good quality potting compost.
Fill pots with quality compost.
Make planting hole.
Gently lower the plant into the whole (hold the leaf and not the stem).
Growing on - Provide good light and sunshine with frost free conditions. It's best to aim for a minimum of 5 degrees Celsius. Wait for compost to start to look dry on the surface in between watering, never let it go completely dry or waterlogged as they need water and air in the compost to be readily available. Good quality potting compost is designed to help achieve this. Do not at anytime during this stage use any plant food the compost will contain enough balanced fertiliser for six weeks and by this time your plant will have grown enough to be replanted in fresh compost.
Planting out. After 3 to 6 weeks you will see roots coming from the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot. Once this occurs you know its ready to move your plant into its final planting position. If you plan to grow in containers please choose a specialised container compost and again, do not feed for first 6 weeks. After 6 weeks, start feeding with a liquid fertiliser and follow manufacturers guidelines. If you would like to plant into open ground, dig some multi-purpose compost into your planting site at the rate of half compost half garden soil in top 5 inches. Keep the area weed free, and water and feed regularly.
