Geum ‘Flames of Passion’


Geum

 USDA Zone: 5-9

Plant number: 1.235.090


This repeat-blooming Geum (or Avens) is an exciting breakthrough. The plant bears a summer-long display of small, rounded semi-double scarlet flowers, held on wiry black stems above a low clump of dark-green leaves. Particularly nice when massed near the border front. Also great in mixed containers or tubs. Foliage is evergreen in mild winter regions. Regular deadheading should not be required, but flower stems can be sheared back after blooming is finished. USPP#13730, CPBR#2673: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
