Geum Pretticoats Peach ('Tngeupp') (Pretticoats Series) (PBR)
avens (syn. Petticoats Peach)
Soft ruffles of frilly peachy-pink and yellow petals surrounding a mass of golden stamens describe the semi-double flowers of Geum ‘Petticoats Peach’. A pretty, sterile form, whose blooms face outwards, rather than downwards, and appear over several months. A lovely specimen for a patio pot or front of the border for a cottage garden-themed area, like many geums, the leaves are deer, rabbit, and slug resistant.
How to care for Geum Pretticoats Peach ('Tngeupp') (Pretticoats Series) (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.
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 the crown of the plant in spring.
