Geum ‘Prinses Juliana’

Description

Set your late spring garden aglow with the ember-coloured blooms of Geum ‘Prinses Juliana’. Dancing in the breeze on their wiry stems, the clementine-orange buds and blooms of this glorious Geum form a graceful cloud of colour in borders. Look closer and you can admire the layers of silky petals which open up to reveal a darker centre, crowned with a tuft of golden anthers. Neat mounds of scalloped green leaves sit below, providing a perfect foil for Geum ‘Prinses Juliana’s elegant late-spring stems.

Geum ‘Prinses Juliana’ has a vintage charm which pairs beautifully with the muted tones of bearded irises like ‘Kent Pride’. Geums are naturally a meadow plant, favouring a fertile and moist soil. In drier areas they can still be made to feel at home with a really good mulch of organic matter that will help to retain moisture levels in the soil. As flowers begin to fade, be sure to deadhead Geum ‘Prinses Juliana’ (syn. ‘Princess Juliana’) regularly to tease out another flush of breezy blooms!
