Geum Scarlet Tempest ('Macgeu001') (PBR) (Tempest Series)
avens
This cracking new geum wowed the judges at the RHS Chelsea Plant of the Year 2016 competition, where it picked up second place. It is a sterile hybrid, so produces lots of larger than average apricot-flushed reddish flowers over an impressively long period. Its first flush starts in mid-spring, after which the plant usually takes a short break before going on to flower uninterrupted into the autumn. Bred by Elizabeth MacGregor (who also gave us Anemone Wild Swan) in Scotland, this new geum is a cross between G. 'Beech House Apricot' and G. chiloense 'Red Dragon'.
