Geum boasts a stunning range of hot colours and thrives in well-drained soil, making them a gardener's dream. They also play well with others!

Geum is the secret ingredient that brings your entire planting scheme together.

The best part? These tough plants are native to continents around the world and require minimal maintenance. Simply cut back old stems after flowering to encourage a fresh flush of blooms, and enjoy the vibrant display from May all the way to OctobLooking sLooking for rLooki##GardeningeLooking fornLooking for vibcLooking for vibrant nLooking for vibrantnLooking for vibs#GardeningTipsgTips ...

It's a great idea to install plant supports for tall herbaceous plants whilst they're still young and small.

Plant supports help protect against wind damage and heavy rainfall and also help keep the plant upright when large flowers start appearIt'

Have you been enjoying all those stunning Rhododendrons and Azaleas in bloom? You can enjoy that vibrant show in your own garden too, even if your soil isn't naturally acidic.

The secret? Plant them in pots using ericaceous compost, a special mix formulated for acid-loving plants. To keep them flowering beautifully year after year, give them a slow-release feed designed for acidic plants. And remember, consistent watering is key, especially in July and August when the new flower buds are forming.
