Geum 'Totally Tangerine' (PBR)
avens
Bright tangerine-orange flowers with scalloped petals appear in abundance from late spring to autumn, creating months of vibrant colour. Held on airy, fuzzy stems, the blooms rise above a clump of mid-green, scalloped foliage that adds texture to borders.
Geum 'Totally Tangerine' is a sterile cultivar, so it won’t self-seed, making it easy to maintain though regular deadheading still encourages fresh blooms, ensuring a long display.
Reaching up to 90cm (3ft), it’s perfect for sunny borders, cottage gardens, and wildlife-friendly planting schemes, thriving in free-draining soil. This reliable perennial adds movement and warmth to mixed beds and pairs beautifully with ornamental grasses.

How to care for Geum Totally Tangerine (PBR):
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.
