    • Why we like this plant

      Geum 'Totally Tangerine' is an excellent choice for gardeners looking for a long-lasting, bright splash of colour.

Its easy-going nature and continuous blooms make it a reliable favourite.

    • About this plant

      Geum 'Totally Tangerine' is a standout variety known for its profusion of warm, semi-double tangerine flowers held on tall, airy stems. Unlike many geums, this variety blooms continuously from late spring to early autumn, offering a long-lasting splash of colour. Its clump-forming habit and mid-green, slightly hairy foliage provide a strong structural element in borders and cottage gardens. Highly attractive to bees and other pollinators, it is an essential plant for wildlife-friendly gardens. Low-maintenance and adaptable, it thrives in a range of soil conditions and is perfect for adding height and movement to planting schemes.
