Product description
Geum coccineum Cooky, commonly known as Dwarf Orange Avens, is a vibrant perennial that adds a splash of colour to any garden. It produces striking orange flowers, approximately 4 cm across, which bloom from late spring into summer, standing out against its lush, deeply lobed green foliage.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Deadhead Geum flowers regularly to encourage more blooms and extend the flowering season.
How to Water
Water Geum regularly, keeping the soil moist but not soggy. Once established, they are somewhat drought-tolerant, but they perform best with consistent moisture. Avoid wetting the foliage to prevent fungal diseases.
How to Plant
Plant Geum in well-drained, fertile soil with good sunlight or partial shade. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, place the plant, and backfill with soil. Space plants 30-45cm apart. Water thoroughly after planting.
