Clay / Heavy / Moist / Well Drained / Light / Sandy
Geums are familiar favourites in herbaceous borders, although they also work well in larger rock gardens, developing into clumps of neat, dense foliage. They need a little space for their flowers, which tend to be produced on long, spreading stems.
Geum ‘Bell Bank’ is a relatively compact cultivar with semi-double, salmon blooms held above fresh green foliage. Plants are compact yet vigorous. It’s perfect for growing in sunny or partially shaded borders, and makes an excellent cut flower.
For best results, grow Geum ‘Bell Bank’ in a cooler part of the garden, in well-drained soil. Divide plants every two to three years.
