Geum coccineum ‘Eos’


Geum

 USDA Zone: 5-9

Plant number: 1.235.140


A glow-in-the-dark selection, this Geum is mainly grown for the wonderful low mound of golden-chartreuse leaves. Wiry stems rise taller with a somewhat shy display of bright orange blooms in late spring and summer. Terrific in containers or near the border edge. Easily combined to clever effect with other plants that have purple, red or bronze leaves. Give protection from afternoon sun in hot summer regions. Easily divided in spring or early fall.
