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.

Other information
-
Soak your Geum 'Apricot Pearl' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting.
Plant your "Avens" bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost in spring and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors.
Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed.
Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
