I grew Geum mrs J Bradshaw from seed last year and got rewarded with stunning red blooms this year. I think Geum are a favourite one for me and so easy to grow in Ireland (and you’re right, it’s an added bonus that pests don’t bother them, I’m a happy gardener! 😃😂
Hello Great advice, thank you. I have few geums. My orange ones are beautiful. But somehow the yellow variety is a flop. I will be repotting sometime and will check their names. Tips on dividing plants like geum would be helpful. Thank you🏵️🏵️😮
Hmmm. Hope that repotting it will help! Is it getting enough sunlight? They flower best with sun -- they'll just give you lots of foliage in too much shade. And we'll be dividing ours in the autumn... we'll make sure to record it :)
Good morning! I divide my Mai Tai clumps every year when they reach 60-79cms across. I'm running out of friends to give them to 😂 The Tangerine at least once, but I have yet to divide Mrs Bradshaw, probably because she's hidden (swamped) by other plants. It's such a wonderful, albeit very busy, time of the year, isn't it? Have a lovely end of day to you both 😊
Good morning! And 😂 we 1000% know that feeling! At this point, our neighbors often just say no when we ask if they want divided plants - no excuses, just “no Lars” 😂 You could start a plant sale tho! Might could turn a profit on Facebook marketplace 🤩
@@perennial-garden thanks for the laugh! 😂 A friend asked for plants because she moved but made sure to say NO IRISES, THANK YOU. I might have given her one too many in previous "donations" 🤣🤣🤣 I am thinking about selling a few. I offered a few daylily fans to a flower farmer and she offered cut flowers in thanks. I'm more than happy to accept that! 😊
Good evening, my little Sweetcorns!!! Never grown geums, but I will now. Do you guys grow vegetables...or vege-terribles as my youngest son, Oscar calls them? Just thinking that, come winter, the structural beauty of cavolo Nero kale would look majestic in the frost. Yummy too. Just don't let Gwyneth Paltrow anywhere near them. She'd decimate your crop worse than caterpillars, for her smoothies. Lots of love, Vlad xxxxxx
hahahahaha! Oh poor Gwyneth. Maybe we should try her method just to look as gorgeous as she does. Tell Oscar that he'd love it here -- we grow no vegetables, only flowers. Even some poisonous ones! 💀 (But we're super nice people. hahaha)
We don’t get a big second flowering, but we do keep them flowering longer than if we don’t deadhead - and we only do it until other things come in and we can let them go to seed finally. 😅
How much light they can take? I introduced some orange variety with quite hairy leaves that was already flowering in Spring but scared that I might lose it to heat I planted it covered with taller perennials and now it's growing beautifully but only in foliage department. Can I scorche it a bit or where do I reposition it? You guys are the best. Love your choices and enthusiasm.
Thanks so much for watching and asking great questions! Most geums prefer full sun to part shade - they won’t flower so well in real shady areas. (That might why yours only has foliage) As for heat, it’s best that they have somewhere to hide during really hot sunny periods - so partial shade would work best. We don’t have much hot sun (especially when the geums are flowering) so all of ours are positioned in full sun. 💚
This is just want I need! I had a friend send me a picture of the most beautiful flower and I had never seen it and sure enough it was a geum! I looked and look but only found a dwarf variety in red😢 and so seed is my last resort!
@@theproperty541 I don't know that one... we have Mai Tai in the garden... it's the peachy one in the video around 0:06 ... but you have to divide it to get it true to the parent.
Love your channel! So informative 😊
Thank you for watching, Elizabeth 💚
Useful to know - I love germs and I have a variety in the garden I can’t find again in the nurseries
You can divide them to make sure you get a direct copy, too 💚

They are so easy to grow here too. I think Mrs J Bradshaw is one of the only ones that comes true from seed. That makes it extra special 💚💚
Wow thank you! I had no idea you can do this with geum. I’m definitely going to do this. Thank you both 💕
You're so welcome! Super easy to collect the seeds 💚
Cheers guys, Geums are great and slug proof too 👍 Our collection keeps on growing 😊❤
we'll take all the slug-proof plants we can get this year!
I love geums and didn't know it's that easy to saw them from seed. Thanks for sharing and happy growing.
Happy growing to you, too! 💚💚
Love geum...just grow mine from seeds this year...I hope I saw flowers this year❤❤❤
I hope so too! If not, surely next year 💚
Geums I love it.. because off u guys Thank u…and again thank u so much for share this video with us 🌼🌺🌞❤
That’s great to hear! We love them in our garden here - they’re so pretty in flower and the foliage is nice too.
Geum is on my list to try next year.
I hope you love them as much as we do 🥰

Great job guys, it was the bees knees. We have Mrs Bradshaw and totally tangerine in the flowerbeds and one alpine geum koi growing in a pot.
Totally tangerine is a really pretty one! We should get that... thanks! Now it's on our wish list :)

Awesome! thanks for the great info.

Geums are lovely aren't they? I have them in red, yellow and orange. Although I deadhead them, I never get a second flush.
We don’t get a big second flowering, but we do keep them flowering longer than if we don’t deadhead - and we only do it until other things come in and we can let them go to seed finally. 😅

I will asap move it towards more light.
Keep up the good work 🌿💚

Seed is always the best and final option :) Hope yours comes true from seed -- some geums won't.
@@perennial-gardenoh no! I really want the color Mi Tia i believe it’s called. It’s very hard to find seed online!

Most geums do not come true from seed. You can divide a plant to make sure you get a direct copy of the parent.
😢 my Geum only had 1 flower this year, and that sad bud was so long it never held its head high.
No idea what happened
😬Oh no! I’m sorry that happened - usually they are really good at flowering.
