Geum Scarlet Tempest

Geum ‘Scarlet Tempest’ is a compact, long-flowering perennial forming neat, semi-evergreen mounds of foliage topped with sprays of semi-double, orange-scarlet blooms from late spring into early summer, often with a lighter repeat later. Best at the front of mixed borders, it thrives in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil and is happy in full sun or light shade; regular deadheading will prolong the display.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
