Soft ruffles of frilly peachy-pink and yellow petals surrounding a mass of bee magnet stamens describe the semi-double flowers of Geum ‘Petticoats Peach’. A pretty, sterile form, whose blooms face outwards, rather than downwards, and appear over several months. A lovely specimen for a patio pot or front of the border for a cottage garden-themed area, like many geums, the leaves are deer, rabbit, and slug resistant.
Plant Geum 30-45cm (12-18in) apart in a sunny to partially shaded position, improving the soil with compost or well-rotted organic matter to ensure good drainage and moisture retention, especially if the soil is heavy or sandy.
Keep the plant well-watered, particularly during its first growing season and in dry periods, as Geum prefers consistently moist but not waterlogged soil. Deadheading spent blooms encourages continued flowering and prevents self-seeding.
Cut back untidy 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 the crown of the plant in spring.
