Geum 'Mai Tai'
Description:
This little plant is perfect for filling the spring/summer flower gap with its frilly double apricot blooms which fade to a soft peach as they age. Very long flowering and unfussy, it is perfect for the front of a herbaceous border and has a semi evergreen rosette of foliage to the base.
Aftercare: Prune spent flowering stems at the base to encourage repeat blooming. Divide in spring or autumn every 3-4 years to invigorate. Mulch with well rotted organic matter in spring after pruning.
