Unpack bare roots or rhizomes on arrival and plant them within a week. Until then, keep them somewhere cool and ensure the roots remain slightly moist, never wet.

Geum 'Jam Roly-Poly' is a delightful new addition to the Geum Dessert Series, introduced in 2025 and exclusively developed and grown for Farmer Gracy. This charming avens hybrid flaunts semi-double flowers with a creamy base, soft peach-orange tones, and playful raspberry-red edges that create a whimsical, layered effect reminiscent of a favourite retro treat. Geum 'Jam Roly-Poly' forms neat, clump-forming foliage that adds structure to flowerbeds while offering a long season of colourful interest. With its cheerful blooms, Geum 'Jam Roly-Poly' brings a sweet, dessert-inspired twist to borders, containers, and patios, making it an irresistible choice for UK gardens. Its playful combination of colours ensures that Geum 'Jam Roly-Poly' stands out on its own or in harmony with other Geum Dessert Series varieties.
The semi-double flowers of Geum 'Jam Roly-Poly' are truly captivating. Creamy petals gradually deepen into peach-orange tones, while the raspberry-red edges provide a cheeky contrast that catches the eye of both pollinators and gardeners alike. Geum 'Jam Roly-Poly' is perfect for adding texture and movement to planting schemes, pairing beautifully with ornamental grasses, perennials, or other Geum Dessert Series cultivars. Whether planted in clusters for a vibrant drift or used as a focal point in a container, Geum 'Jam Roly-Poly' delivers an enchanting display of colour and charm.
Growing Geum 'Jam Roly-Poly' is straightforward and rewarding. This avens hybrid thrives in well-draining soil with full sun to light shade, and once established, requires minimal maintenance. Regular watering during the first season helps the plant settle, but after that, Geum 'Jam Roly-Poly' flourishes with ease. Its long-lasting, semi-double flowers are perfect for flowerbeds, containers, or cutting for indoor arrangements, ensuring that Geum 'Jam Roly-Poly' brings a continuous, playful burst of colour and a dessert-inspired delight to UK gardens season after season.

Plant calendar
Remove the packaging straight away, check the compost and water thoroughly if dry. Check the plant’s hardiness before placing it outdoors. Plant into a border or permanent container within a month, choosing the position recommended for the variety. Keep the top of the root ball level with the surrounding soil, firm gently and water well.
Soak the roots in water for three to six hours immediately before planting. Keep any crown, buds or emerging shoots above the water where possible.
Pot most bare roots into 15–20cm pots filled with peat-free multipurpose compost. Large or depth-sensitive roots, including peonies, are often best planted directly into borders.
Arrange the roots naturally without bending them. Cover the roots completely, positioning the crown and buds at the depth recommended for that particular perennial.
Keep pots in a sheltered outdoor position and water whenever the compost begins to dry. Grow on until roots hold the compost together when lifted from the pot.
Plant into a suitable border or permanent container once well rooted. Add a label and water regularly throughout the first growing season while the perennial establishes.
