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
'Tim's Tangerine'
avens
Graceful, long-flowering and quietly radiant, Geum 'Tim's Tangerine' brings a wash of soft peachy-orange to the border from late spring right through to autumn. Also known as Geum 'Totally Tangerine', this RHS Award of Garden Merit recipient is prized for both its beauty and stamina. Slender, branching stems rise to around 90cm, carrying a profusion of gently nodding blooms that seem to hover above the foliage. The effect is light and airy rather than dense, allowing Geum 'Tim's Tangerine' to weave effortlessly between grasses and perennials, lending warmth without weight.
As a sterile selection, Geum 'Tim's Tangerine' will not self-seed, channelling its energy into an exceptionally long and reliable flowering season instead. It thrives in fertile, well-drained soil in sun or light shade, where its softly glowing tones complement blues, purples and fresh greens with particular ease. Pollinators are frequent visitors, drawn to the open centres of the flowers, while gardeners appreciate its relaxed habit and resilience. Whether planted in generous drifts or dotted through a mixed scheme for cohesion, Geum 'Tim's Tangerine' (or Geum 'Totally Tangerine') proves both refined and refreshingly uncomplicated.

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.
