Geum Seeds
Geum coccineum
Koi geum's loose clusters of bright orange 1½ in. flowers bloom the first year in spring and summer. Short, sturdy stems hold flowers just above 10 in. evergreen mounds of rounded, finely toothed bright green leaves. Removing spent flowers can extend bloom into the fall. Koi geum is evergreen in moderate to warm climates, and deciduous in the north. Koi geum is well-suited for growing in containers, rock gardens, and well-drained garden beds. Long-lived perennials are winter hardy to zone 4.
Growing Koi Geum Seeds
Plant Geum Seeds: Sow geum seeds in cell packs or flats, barely cover. Light aids germination. Kept at 68°F., germination is in 21-30 days. Transplant geum seedlings 12 to 18 in. apart. Can direct sow in prepared seed beds, in groups of 3-4 seeds spaced 12 to 18 in. apart. Thin to the strongest plant.
Grow Geum: Full sun in mild summer climates, afternoon shade where it is hot. Geum dislikes heat combined with humidity. Prefers moist, fertile soil with good winter drainage. Remove faded flowers to extend bloom season. An excellent cut flower; long, wiry stems make for easy arrangement. Geum plants are deer and rabbit resistant. Cut plants back hard after bloom to improve appearance and vigor. Divide plants every three to four years.
