Whatever your style, these pumpkin-orange double pompon blooms will bring it to life, kickstarting summer with a glow which could make anyone giddy.

Useful information
-
Soak your Geum 'Orange Pumpkin' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting.
Plant your "Double 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.
