Geums are familiar favourites in herbaceous borders, although they also work well in larger rock gardens, developing into neat clumps of dense foliage. They need a little space for their flowers, which tend to be produced on long, spreading stems.
Geum 'Custard Tart' bears beautiful custard-yellow flowers on tall, green stems, throughout summer. These contrast beautifully with the compact mounds of mid-green foliage. Geum 'Custard Tart' is perfect for growing in sunny or partially shaded borders, and makes an excellent cut flower.
For best results, grow in a cooler part of the garden, in well-drained soil. Divide plants every two to three years.
