Description
Your garden will be all set for a great start to summer when you plant a few Geum 'Mai Tai'. Flowering from late spring to mid-summer in a fruity-looking cocktail blend of peach, pink and apricot tones, it’s right on cue to get the party started. There are two particularly great things about Geums. Firstly, they flower at a time when the garden often has a gap between spring and summer, which is useful. Secondly, they’re fully hardy perennials so you can expect a repeat show every year!
Geum—member of the Rosaceae or rose family—are known for their unfussy nature, which makes them a total delight to have in the garden. They’re clump-forming perennials, and each year they fill out a little bit more and produce a better profusion of flowers each time. True, they need a bit of time and patience, but with flowers this gorgeous, Geum 'Mai Tai' (Cocktails Series) is totally worth it!

Useful information
-
Soak your Geum 'Mai Tai' 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.
