Geums are familiar favourites in herbaceous borders, although they also work well in larger rock gardens, developing into clumps of neat, dense foliage. They need a little space for their flowers, which tend to be produced on long, spreading stems.
Geum 'Country Rock' is a hybrid geum, bearing masses of pink and peach-coloured flowers from May right through to late summer. It's perfect for growing in sunny or partially shaded borders, and makes an excellent cut flower.
For best results, grow Geum 'Country Rock' in a cooler part of the garden, in well-drained soil. Divide plants every two to three years.
