Geum 'Bell Bank'

‘Bell Bank’ bears nodding, thimble-shaped coral-pink flowers that gently unfold to reveal frilly semi-double flowerheads, dancing above mid-green basal foliage. This dainty but tough hybrid cultivar was raised by Geoffrey Smith in the 1980s.

Widely admired for its graceful and prolific flowering from April to June, it prefers a moist but free-draining soil that does not become waterlogged in winter — a trait inherited from one of its parents, Geum rivale. A wonderful colour for the front of a border, its delicacy lends itself perfectly to a cottage garden setting. It grows well in sun or partial shade.
