Clay / Heavy / Moist / Well Drained / Light / Sandy
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.
Geum 'Eden Rising' bears deep red stems, and red buds that open to ruffled, dusky yellow flowers with plum overtones. It's perfect for growing in sunny or partially shaded borders, and makes a striking cut flower.
For best results, grow Geum 'Eden Rising' in a cooler part of the garden, in well-drained soil. Divide plants every two to three years.
