Geum 'Turbango Twister'

Geums are familiar favourites in herbaceous borders, although they also work well in larger rock gardens, developing into dense clumps of neat foliage. They need a little space for their flowers, which tend to be produced on long, spreading stems.

Geum 'Turbango Twister' is an unusual variety, bearing deep red stems, and red buds that open to dusky orange flowers. The flowers are followed by large, showy seedheads. It's perfect for growing in sunny or partially shaded borders, and makes an excellent cut flower.

For best results, grow Geum 'Turbango Twister' in a cooler part of the garden, in well-drained soil. Divide plants every two to three years.
