Geum 'Prinses Juliana'
avens (syn. Geum Princess Juliana)
A stunning cultivar of avens with fiery orange flowers from June to September, held on wiry stems above pretty hummocks of puckered foliage. This easy-to-grow geum looks at its best among other 'hot' coloured flowers towards the front of a well-drained border in sun or partial shade.
Geum ‘Prinses Juliana’ pairs well with red and yellow perennials for a bold display or can be used to brighten up a cottage garden themed outdoor space.

How to care for Geum Prinses Juliana:
Plant Geum 30-45cm (12-18in) apart in a sunny to partially shaded position, improving the soil with compost or well-rotted organic matter to ensure good drainage and moisture retention, especially if the soil is heavy or sandy.
Keep the plant well-watered, particularly during its first growing season and in dry periods, as Geum prefers consistently moist but not waterlogged soil. Deadheading spent blooms encourages continued flowering and prevents self-seeding.
Cut back untidy foliage in autumn. Lift and divide clumps every couple of years in early autumn and replant with the crown just above the surface of the soil. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted organic matter around the the crown of the plant in spring.
