Geum Flames of Passion

Geum Flames of Passion is a captivating perennial that brings vibrant colour and refined structure to garden borders and beds. Its rich, crimson-red blooms, with gently ruffled petals and a soft sheen, appear on slender yet sturdy stems, rising gracefully above a compact mound of lush green foliage. This striking variety adds a bold yet elegant touch to any planting scheme, creating a sense of warmth and energy.

Growing to a height of approximately 50-60 cm, this Geum is ideal for mid-border planting or as part of a cottage garden display. Flowering from late spring to midsummer, it provides a season-long display that’s perfect for introducing vibrant colour to your garden during a time when other plants are just beginning to fade.

What sets Flames of Passion apart is its resilience and adaptability. It thrives in a sunny position but also tolerates light shade, making it versatile for various garden settings. Unlike many perennials, this variety is particularly long-lived, forming dense clumps that return year after year with minimal maintenance. Its blooms, held aloft on wiry stems, make excellent cut flowers for indoor arrangements, adding a touch of drama to any vase.

We supply premium-quality Geum Flames of Passion bare root plants, ready to establish in British gardens. For the best results, plant in well-drained, fertile soil and water regularly during the establishment period. Deadheading spent flowers will encourage further blooms, extending its flowering season.

For gardeners seeking a low-maintenance perennial with bold colour and enduring charm, Geum Flames of Passion is a standout choice that never fails to impress. A must-have for creating a lively, welcoming garden space.
