Geums are one of the Star Perennials of Late Spring

Totally Tangerine

Geum Scarlet Tempest has quite a fitting name. It’s a fiery perennial and it’s looking hot now!


Scarlet Tempest
Geums are really reliable spring perennials always bringing a fantastic season of colour and there are some quiet hot colours.
I always plant it in my hot border and it has Euphorbia Wulfenii which is spiky and acid yellow while in flower at the same time behind.
