Know before you buy
This plant thrives in full to part sun. While it will bloom in partial shade, you may see more prolific flowering if it receives at least six hours of direct sunlight daily.
Yes, its compact size and mounding habit make it an excellent choice for containers. Ensure your pot has adequate drainage holes to prevent the roots from sitting in excess moisture.
The Pumpkin Orange Geum requires well-draining soil. It does not tolerate heavy, waterlogged clay, so it is best to amend your soil with organic matter if drainage is poor.
This variety is hardy in zones 5 through 9. If you live in a colder climate within this range, a layer of mulch can help protect the crown of the plant during the winter months.
Since the plant reaches a mature width of 10 to 12 inches, you should space them about 12 inches apart. This allows for proper air circulation, which helps keep the foliage healthy.
