Thank you for this- I have wondered about deadheading geums and now I know!
What do you mean by cut to the ground though please? Does that mean take away all the green foliage?
Hi there. In spring, especially after a hard winter, I cut back all the green leaves on my geums to about one inch from the ground. The plant soon sends up new growth. You don't have to do this but if the leaves are in any way dog-eared (which they usually are after a winter of weathering), it's nicer to have fresh new leaves. Hope this answers your question.
This video is really interesting!
Thanks Rachel. Geum is one of my favourites
You're welcome, one of my favourites too
Fantastic info - thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!

Thank you for this, !
Welcome!

Welcome
Growing two Mrs Bradshaw geum's in the garden bed and one small geum koi orange in a pot. Thanks for the video on how to look after them.
You are very welcome. Such great plants that look fabulous this time of year.
They're a favourite for 🐝 Bees and not harmful to cats and dogs
Thank you for sharing this information. I have wanted this plant for a long time but didn't know much about it. I have a full sun area so didn't think they'd be suitable . Your video soon got me excited when you said they like sun! I'm hoping to plant totally tangerine in a group of 3..would you have an idea of planting spacing please? Also is totally tangerine one to be deadheaded. I didnt quite understand
(Sorry , I'm quite a newbie gardener haha). Xx
Yes, geums do great in full sun. A general guide is to plant them 6-12 inches apart . A group of three will look great and reward you with a mass of flowers. Totally Tangerine should be deadheaded the way I described in this video. It is a really great one and you will love it. Wishing you all the best. Rachel
@@GardeningatDouentza ho Rachel, thanks for the reply. I'd already made an order before seeing this . I only ordered 2 . I hope I get a decent display with just 2 x

Got my first today
Yay, and so the addiction begins 😁🤣
Thank you very much
What is the beautiful shrub behind you?
You are wlecome. The shrub is Hypericum 'Hidcote'. Here's a video I made about it...

thank you. a friend has one, the totally tangerine one, and she gave me some seeds.. any hints on how to saw them ?
If the seed is fresh, sow it straight away. Otherwise geum seed needs cold stratification. In that case you will need to sow in autumn in a frost-free greenhouse or sheltered outdoor spot. Alternatively you might place your seed tray in the fridge for a couple of weeks then remove it for a couple and keep going until germination. Of course, your seed will not come true to the parent but, hopefully, you'll get something nice. Good luck.
I can t grow this no matter what waiting for four years now
Sorry to hear that
