Description
Geum 'Apricot Pearl' (Censation™ Series) is a beautiful mound-forming perennial. It is semi-evergreen to evergreen, with mid- to dark green leaves that are toothed and softly hairy. However, it’s really for the flowers that we grow this delightful plant. In late spring and early summer, slender stems carry masses of bowl-shaped, semi-double, pink-flushed, pale apricot flowers. They are unique, and really catch the eye. Incidentally, the blooms are sterile, which means that the flowering time is extended, and they do not need to be dead-headed!
Being a fairly low-grower, Geum Censation™ 'Apricot Pearl' (more commonly known as Avens) should be grown towards the front of a flower bed or border. Or it performs equally well in patio pots and containers.
Geum 'Apricot Pearl' is a recently introduced variety within the hugely popular Censation™ series, grown for their reliability, and new colour ranges. These are all robust plants, and very easy to grow.

Planting & Care
- Plant your Geum bare roots outside during spring or autumn, in a pot or straight out into the garden soil
- Set plants 30-40cm apart
- Select an area with moderately fertile, humus-rich soil, that is in full sun or part shade; avoid any soil that becomes waterlogged
- If growing Avens in a pot, use a well-drained soil mix of equal parts loam, leaf mould (or soil-less compost)
- Water moderately when in growth and, for best foliage and flowers, apply a balanced fertiliser in April
