Description
The Geum collection 'Grand Dessert' is a sumptuous celebration of colour, texture, and design, featuring all the cultivars from the new Geum Dessert Series, introduced in 2025 and exclusively developed and grown for Farmer Gracy. This enticing avens collection brings together Geum 'Victoria Sponge', Geum 'Jam Roly-Poly', Geum 'Cherry Bakewell', and Geum 'Battenberg Cake', each sporting semi-double blooms in a delectable range of shades from peach and apricot-orange to cream, raspberry-red, and soft salmon-pink. Geum collection 'Grand Dessert' provides a long-lasting, cheerful display that lifts borders, containers, and UK gardens alike, offering a versatile palette that delights the eye and attracts pollinators. Each cultivar in this mixed avens collection has its own personality, yet together they form a harmonious, dessert-inspired ensemble that’s as visually appealing as it is easy to grow.
Geum collection 'Grand Dessert' combines the elegant structure of clump-forming foliage with the frothy charm of semi-double blooms. Geum 'Victoria Sponge' brings soft cream and peach tones with raspberry edges, while Geum 'Jam Roly-Poly' adds a playful mix of apricot-orange and cream. Geum 'Cherry Bakewell' introduces a vibrant raspberry-red note, and Geum 'Battenberg Cake' offers gentle salmon-pink hues. Together, these cultivars create a symphony of colour and texture that works beautifully in combination with ornamental grasses, perennials, or even as a stand-alone planting in garden borders or container arrangements. The long season of interest ensures that Geum collection 'Grand Dessert' remains captivating from late spring through summer.
Maintaining Geum collection 'Grand Dessert' is as simple as it is rewarding. Each cultivar thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with full sun to light shade, making this collection a low-fuss option for gardens of all sizes. Regular watering during the first season ensures strong establishment, after which Geum collection 'Grand Dessert' offers years of reliable performance. With semi-double flowers that are also excellent for cutting, this avens mixture brings the joy of a vibrant dessert-inspired display both outdoors and in the home. Geum collection 'Grand Dessert' is the ultimate treat for gardeners who crave colour, charm, and long-lasting beauty, all neatly packaged in a single, irresistible collection.

Useful information
-
Soak the Geum collection 'Grand Dessert' 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.
