Know before you buy
Plant the roots so the crown is exactly one inch below the soil line. Planting too deep can cause the crown to rot, while planting too shallow may leave the roots vulnerable to drying out.
Yes, Geum 'Totally Tangerine' is a hardy perennial suitable for zones 5 through 9. It is designed to return reliably each year once established.
While no plant is 100% immune to hungry wildlife, this variety is considered deer and rabbit resistant. Its fuzzy foliage and specific scent profile typically make it a less attractive snack compared to other garden favorites.
Absolutely. Because of their tidy, clumping growth habit, they perform very well in containers. Just ensure your pot has adequate drainage to keep the roots healthy.
These plants thrive in full sun to partial shade. For the most vibrant apricot-orange blooms, aim for a spot that receives at least six hours of sunlight daily.
Space your roots approximately 18 inches apart. This allows enough airflow for the tidy mounds of foliage to develop without becoming overcrowded.
