notes
Geum Orange Pumpkin bears prolific, semi-double, pumpkin orange flowers (held on shorter stems than other Geums) which bloom repeatedly from early summer until autumn, making it a great choice for the front of a border. Geums are easy to grow, low-growing, clump forming perennials that light up the bed with their frilly flowers, whilst also suppressing weeds and attracting pollinators.
