Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.

  • Description

  • Notes

Geums are a charming group of perennials well suited to the front of the perennial border or a rock garden. They typically grow about 12 to 15 inches tall and wide, with basal rosettes of foliage of soft green, velvety leaves. The flowers of 'Lady Stratheden' are yellow, doubled-petaled, and tend to bloom Late May through July. The flowers cut well.
Grow in well drained soil, a bit on the loamy side, in full sun to a bit of shade. Adaptive to most soil types and pH, as long as it drains well. Geums will bloom over a longer period if they are diligently dead headed.
