Hardy Perennial: Geum Firestarter is a tough and reliable perennial, returning year after year with minimal care, making it a great choice for both novice and experienced gardeners.
Care Instructions for Geum Firestarter:
Ideal Planting Location: Plant in full sun or partial shade with well-drained soil. Geum Firestarter thrives in sunny borders or mixed planting schemes and performs well in most garden conditions.
Planting Steps: Remove the plant from its 9cm pot and plant at the same depth as in the container. Space plants around 30-40cm apart to allow for healthy growth.
Watering Tips: Water thoroughly after planting to help the plant establish. Keep the soil moist, especially during dry periods, but avoid waterlogging. Geums prefer well-drained conditions.
Feeding Schedule: Apply a balanced fertilizer in spring to promote healthy growth and abundant flowering.
Deadheading and Pruning: Regularly deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and maintain a tidy appearance. Trim back foliage in late autumn after flowering has finished to prepare the plant for winter.
Winter Care: Geum Firestarter is fully hardy, but adding a layer of mulch around the base of the plant in late autumn can help protect the roots during colder months.
