Geum Orange Pumpkin

 RHS Chelsea Plant of the Year 2023!

Geum Orange Pumpkin is a striking perennial that brings a cheerful splash of colour to borders and beds. Its semi-double blooms, in a warm, glowing shade of vibrant orange, stand out beautifully against the plant's lush green, clump-forming foliage. This variety adds a bright, uplifting charm to any garden design, effortlessly bridging the gap between spring and summer with its long-lasting flowering period.

Reaching a height of approximately 40-50 cm, this Geum is compact yet impactful, making it ideal for mid-border planting or as part of a cottage garden scheme. Flowering from late spring to midsummer, Orange Pumpkin provides weeks of vivid colour, and its blooms are excellent for cutting, allowing you to bring its radiant charm indoors.

What sets Geum Orange Pumpkin apart is its ability to thrive in a variety of conditions. While it prefers well-drained soil in a sunny or lightly shaded spot, it’s remarkably tolerant of less-than-ideal soils, making it a dependable choice for gardeners. Unlike many other perennials, it’s also resistant to deer and rabbits, ensuring your vibrant display remains undisturbed.

We supply premium-quality Geum Orange Pumpkin bare root plants to gardeners across the UK. For best results, plant in fertile soil and water regularly during the establishment period. With minimal care, this delightful perennial will reward you with years of radiant blooms and reliable growth.
