Geum 'Mrs J. Bradshaw'

Grow Geums in a sunny or shaded position on any well drained soil. If plants are received in the spring, pot up Geum plants and grow them on in bright frost-free conditions until they are well grown. When all risk of frost has passed, gradually acclimatise Geum plants to outdoor conditions over 7-10 days before planting them in their final positions. If plants are received in the autumn, place them in a cold frame or cold greenhouse to grow on and over-winter. When the weather has warmed in spring, gradually acclimatise Geum plants to outdoor conditions over 7-10 days before planting them in their final positions. Water well after planting to settle the soil.

Water regularly until fully established. Dead-head faded geum flowers regularly to encourage more blooms to be produced. Remove old foliage in autumn. Apply a mulch of well rotted manure or garden compost to the base of the plant in spring. Lift and divide overcrowded clumps of Geum to maintain their vigour.

Van Meuwen strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
