Geum Lemon Drops © 2008 SpecialPerennials.comGeum Lemon Drops (Beth Chatto)

The true form has the palest green-lemon nodding bells in late spring - early summer and again in autumn. It performs best in moist soils but grows happily in the driest, sunniest spot in our garden. The low mounds of leaves spread to a 2ft  / 60cm across clump in time and a flowering height of about 9in-1ft / 22-30cm

Lemon Drops is a chance seedling from Beth Chatto's wonderful Essex garden.  We've found that seedlings from this plant are quite similar but always fall short of capturing the full beauty of the original plant - all our plants are all produced by division from a plant obtained from Beth Chatto's nursery.
