Geum: |
Another dear old lady who has graced our gardens for over a century. Although the plants do come true from seed, there are a lot of inferior seed strains around - the true plant is semi-double and bright scarlet with a large yellow boss of stamens. She reaches 2ft / 6ocm tall in flower (1ft / 30cm tall leaf mound). She flowers on and off from May through to October. RHS Award of Garden Merit (H4)
Francis Perry tells the story of Mrs Bradshaw. Amos Perry received a box of Geum seedlings from an amateur gardener John Bradshaw of the Grove, Southgate (now part of Enfield, Middlesex) raised by his gardener Mr. G. Whitelegg. From these Mrs J. Bradshaw was selected and introduced from Perry's famous Winchmore Hill Nursery. |
