Product description
Geum Pink Fluffy is an incredibly reliable, middle-of-the-road workhorse that forms a neat, disciplined basal rosette of scalloped green leaves. In early summer, it fires up wiry stems carrying soft, highly textured, and fringed pastel-pink flowers that provide excellent mid-season colour without ever aggressively taking over the bed.
Plant it in any standard, well-draining loam that receives full to partial sun, providing a steady, even supply of normal moisture to keep its basal leaves looking lush and vigorous. Relentlessly snip the faded flower stems right down to the base to trick the plant into pushing out continuous fresh blooms.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

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.

Instructions
Top Tip
Relentlessly deadhead the faded, highly textured flowers of Geum Pink Fluffy by snipping the stems down to the base to trick the plant into pushing out continuous fresh blooms.
How to Water
Keep the soil around Geum Pink Fluffy consistently moist but never waterlogged to ensure the tough basal leaves remain lush and vigorous. Water directly at the soil line, stepping in with a hose during dry spells to stop the roots from drying out entirely. A thick mulch applied around the base will help lock that essential moisture firmly into the dirt.
How to Plant
Dig a hole in well-draining, neutral loam that receives full to partial sun for Geum Pink Fluffy. Settle the clumping basal rosette perfectly level with the soil surface, ensuring it is not buried too deeply to prevent rotting. Space it comfortably at the front or middle of the border where its delicate pastel blooms can be easily appreciated.
