Geum ‘Tropical Tempest’
Geum 'Tropical Tempest' is a long-blooming avens with multitudes of semi-double, bright orange flowers.
Geum ‘Tropical Tempest’ is more floriferous than other hybrid avens with multitudes of large, semi-double, saucer-shaped, bright orange flowers rising on thin, wiry stems above lush, semi-evergreen foliage. Growth habit is up to 16 inches tall and 20 inches wide. Prized for the front of the herbaceous border and in mixed beds and rock gardens. This compact and mounding sterile hybrid is an invaluable re-bloomer producing flushes in mid-spring and again in midsummer to fall with slightly smaller flowers. Easy and carefree. Pollinator attractor. Deer resistant.
