Geum 'Abendsonne'

Geums are familiar favourites in herbaceous borders, although they also work well in larger rock gardens, developing into neat, dense clumps of foliage. They need a little space for their flowers, which tend to be produced on long, spreading stems.

Meaning 'evening sun' in German, 'Abendsonne' bears soft orange, semi-double flowers, with darker orange anthers, above clumps of bright green foliage. Compact and easy to grow, it's perfect for growing at the front of sunny borders. It makes an excellent cut flower.

For best results, grow Geum 'Abendsonne' in a cooler part of the garden, in well-drained soil. Divide plants every two to three years.
