Geum 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.
