Geum Scarlet Tempest is a fabulous perennial that dazzles with its semi-double, fiery red-orange blooms from late spring through summer. The softly ruffled petals and vivid colours sit above lush green foliage, creating an eye-catching contrast. Growing to a height of 45cm (18in), its compact, clump-forming habit makes it ultra-reliable for bringing structure and beauty to borders or containers.
This undemanding plant thrives in full sun with well-drained soil, and its dense foliage acts as a natural weed suppressant, making it as practical as it is beautiful. Scarlet Tempest pairs wonderfully with other plants with red flowers, like Dahlias, Gladioli, and Lilies.
For cut flowers, pick its stems early in the day when buds are just opening, and condition them in cool water to enjoy their freshness indoors for longer.
