Geums are familiar favourites in herbaceous borders, although they also work well in larger rock gardens, developing into dense clumps of pretty foliage. They need a little space for their flowers, which tend to be produced on long, spreading stems.
Geum 'Flames of Passion' bears red, semi-double flowers with contrasting yellow anthers, above clumps of bright green foliage. Compact and easy to grow, it's perfect for growing at the front of sunny borders. It also makes a very attractive cut flower.
For best results, grow Geum 'Flames of Passion' in a cooler part of the garden, in well-drained soil. Divide plants every two to three years.
