Description
Geum 'Dolly North'
Height x Spread: 45cm x 30cm
'Dolly North' sports vivid semi double orange-red flowers on branching stems above low growing divided green foliage. It can flower intermittently up to autumn, when we recommend a neat trim back of the foliage.
With its eye catching colour, this Geum really packs a punch at the front of a sunny spring to early summer border and looks amazing combined with dark purples or bright blues. Divide plants every three years to maintain their vigour. This low maintenance perennial will grow in any fertile soil with some drainage in a sunny spot.
