Geum Mrs. J Bradshaw

Geum  jee-uhm

Mrs. J Bradshaw: Boldly colored, semi-double blooms grow in panicles on graceful stems that rise well above the plant’s foliage mound. Orange-scarlet flowers measuring 1¼” across form attractive, fluffy seed heads after opening and lure butterflies and other pollinators to the garden. The end of the bloom period can be extended from early summer until late summer by promptly removing spent flower stems. Mounds of scalloped foliage reach 15″ tall and feature big, heart-shaped leaves that are evergreen.

Description

Geum  jee-uhm

Geum is a long blooming member of the rose family which will reward you with flowers in shades of yellow, orange, red or pink. The bloom shapes range from fluffy upward facing doubles to nodding singles. These showy flowers also attract bees and butterflies. For the longest lasting cut flowers, pick when blooms are half open. The foliage ranges from deciduous to evergreen depending on species and conditions. Leaves are deeply lobed with toothed or scalloped edges, forming a dense mound. An excellent addition to rock gardens, containers or as a border. Geum combines well with Geranium, Salvia, ornamental grasses and Achillea (yarrow).
