  • Bring in the pollinators too, with the flowers attracting bees and other beneficial visitors through the flowering season

Description

Here is a perennial that starts the season with real intent! Geum 'Firestarter' brings bold, sizzling flower power from spring into autumn, giving borders and patio pots months of punchy colour when gardens need it most.

This hardy, clump-forming perennial produces upright stems packed with ruffled, semi-double blooms above neat green foliage. It looks especially effective at the front of sunny borders, through cottage garden planting, in wildlife-friendly schemes, or in containers where its bright, upright flowers can do all the showing off.

'Firestarter' also pulls its weight for pollinators, attracting bees and other beneficial insects during its long flowering season. Grow it in full sun or partial shade, in fertile, moist but well-drained soil, and deadhead faded flowers to encourage more blooms. Fully hardy and dependable, it reaches around 40 to 50cm high with a similar spread, making it compact enough for smaller spaces but bold enough to stand out in a busy border.

Top Tips

These perennials will die back to ground level each year, in the autumn, but will return with new growth in the spring.

Care Information
  • Plant in well-drained and fertile soil that is kept moist. If planting in clay-based or sandy soil, be sure to add plenty of compost or well-rotted manure. 
  • Feed in with a general-purpose feed, avoiding the stems.
  • Mulch immediately afterwards with organic matter such as well-rotted manure, leafmould or garden compost.
  • Water regularly during periods of dry weather in the first few seasons after planting, especially for container plants.
  • In early spring or late autumn, be sure to lift and divide large clumps.
