Description
Geum 'Pink Frills'
Height x Spread: 30cm x 25cm
Ruffled, nodding flowerheads with pale pink notched petals, darker pink veins and red bracts are carried above a rosette of creased green foliage. The colour combination of this late spring flowering Geum is quite exquisite and much sought after by designers.
Its delicacy and naturalistic form looks wonderful bordering a stream, weaving through a woodland garden or displayed at the front of a cottage garden border. Its clumping foliage makes good ground cover, helping keep the weeds out. Easy to care for, just tidy up foliage in early spring and the autumn. It grows best in a free draining soil with some moisture and richness in full sun or light shade.
