Plant description
This adaptable perennial is a sterile cultivar, so it will produce an abundance of apricot-orange flowers over a prolonged period throughout summer and into autumn. These are held on leafy stems that form an attractive clump of divided, toothed and scalloped foliage. It's perfect for adding bright splashes of colour towards the front of a sunny border.

How to care for Geum Totally Tangerine (PBR):
Keep well watered and remove tatty 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 crown of the plant in spring.
Please note:
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
