Geum 'Miss Clementine' (PBR)
avens
A compact, clump-forming perennial with vibrant semi-double orange flowers that bloom from late spring to early summer.
The ruffled petals create a striking contrast against the neat rosettes of almost evergreen foliage, which provides year-round ground cover.
Ideal for borders, beds, and containers, Geum 'Miss Clementine' pairs well with perennials like Salvia, Agastache, and Nepeta.
This low-maintenance plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and is perfect for cottage gardens, city spaces, or coastal planting. Loved by bees and butterflies, it brings both colour and wildlife interest to the garden while maintaining a tidy, easy to manage habit.
Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.

How to care for Geum Miss Clementine (PBR):
Plant Geum 30-45cm (12-18in) apart in a sunny to partially shaded position, improving the soil with compost or well-rotted organic matter to ensure good drainage and moisture retention, especially if the soil is heavy or sandy.
Keep the plant well-watered, particularly during its first growing season and in dry periods, as Geum prefers consistently moist but not waterlogged soil. Deadheading spent blooms encourages continued flowering and prevents self-seeding.
Cut back untidy foliage in autumn. Lift and divide clumps every couple of years in early autumn and replant with the crown just above the surface of the soil. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted organic matter around the crown of the plant in spring.
