Description

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.

Useful information

    • Soak your Geum 'Jam Roly-Poly' 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.
