Geum Totally Tangerine

Geum Totally Tangerine is a standout perennial known for its vibrant, apricot-orange flowers that bloom in abundance from late spring through to early autumn. The semi-double, gently ruffled blooms sit atop slender, wiry stems, dancing gracefully in the breeze and creating a dynamic display in the garden. Paired with its lush green, clump-forming foliage, this variety adds a fresh and cheerful energy to any planting scheme.

Reaching a height of approximately 70-90 cm, Totally Tangerine is taller than many Geum varieties, making it perfect for adding vertical interest to borders and mixed beds. Its impressive flowering period—often stretching over months—ensures it remains a focal point in the garden long after other perennials have finished blooming. The stems are sturdy yet delicate, making the flowers ideal for cutting without overwhelming an arrangement.

What makes Totally Tangerine particularly unique is its near-sterile nature, meaning it puts all its energy into producing flowers rather than seeds. This results in an exceptionally long blooming season with little interruption. It thrives in well-drained soil in a sunny or lightly shaded position and is tolerant of clay and heavier soils, making it a versatile choice for British gardens.

We supply Geum Totally Tangerine as premium bare root plants, ensuring they establish quickly and thrive in your garden. For the best results, plant in fertile soil, water during dry spells, and deadhead regularly to encourage even more blooms.

With its vibrant colour, long-lasting display, and easy care, Geum Totally Tangerine is a must-have for gardeners who want continuous colour and movement in their borders. It’s a plant that never fails to impress!
