Geum ‘Cosmopolitan’ is a beautiful, compact perennial shrub that is well suited for almost any part of the garden. The hardy plant is great as groundcover with its dense, mound-forming dark green foliage and provides lovely cream flowers, their petals tipped with pink margins, which bloom on tall stalks in the late Spring and through to Summer. The flowers are perfect for cutting to be used in vases or bouquets.
Plant in moist, well-drain soils and keep in full or partial sun. A hardy and generally low maintenance plant requiring little help to establish. Avoid overwatering during the Winter period as the waterlogged soil can damage the plant. May lose leaves and die back during colder weather but will return with fresh growth the following Spring.

Ongoing plant maintenance within our nursery is essential, meaning some lines are pruned back at certain times of the year to encourage new growth.

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.
