Description
Geum 'Cherry Bakewell' is a delectable new star in the Geum Dessert Series, launched in 2025 and exclusively developed and grown for Farmer Gracy. This charming avens hybrid shows off semi-double flowers in a rich, pinkish raspberry-red hue that seems almost good enough to eat. Geum 'Cherry Bakewell' forms tidy, clump-forming foliage that provides structure in borders while allowing its cheerful blooms to take centre stage. Ideal for containers, flowerbeds, and UK gardens of all sizes, Geum 'Cherry Bakewell' offers a long season of vibrant colour, making it a sweet addition to any planting scheme. Whether paired with soft pastel perennials or other Geum Dessert Series varieties, Geum 'Cherry Bakewell' delivers a playful and sophisticated pop of raspberry-red charm.
The flowers of Geum 'Cherry Bakewell' are as irresistible as their namesake treat. Each semi-double bloom unfurls in layers of luscious raspberry-red-pink, creating depth and texture across the clump. Bees and other pollinators are drawn to the vibrant petals, making Geum 'Cherry Bakewell' not only a visual delight but also a garden-friendly choice. This avens hybrid pairs beautifully with grasses, taller perennials, or fellow Dessert Series cultivars, and it works just as well as a striking focal point in a container or as a massed planting for dramatic effect. Geum 'Cherry Bakewell' brings both personality and presence to your garden.
Growing Geum 'Cherry Bakewell' is straightforward and rewarding. This hybrid thrives in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun to light shade and requires little fuss once established. Regular watering during its first season ensures Geum 'Cherry Bakewell' settles in quickly, but after that, it offers reliable performance with minimal care. The semi-double raspberry-red blooms are perfect for cutting as well as garden display, ensuring Geum 'Cherry Bakewell' provides a continuous and vibrant treat for UK gardens throughout the summer months and beyond.

Useful information
-
Soak the Geum 'Cherry Bakewell' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting
Plant your avens bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost within a week of delivery 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. Some varieties are a length of root which should be planted lengthways and shallowly (1-2cm deep).
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.
