Geum ‘Totally Tangerine’ – Avens
Geum ‘Totally Tangerine’ is a vibrant and exceptionally long-flowering hardy perennial, prized for its masses of warm apricot-orange flowers carried on airy branching stems. Blooming from late spring well into summer, the cheerful flowers rise above neat clumps of foliage, bringing colour, movement, and a relaxed natural feel to borders and mixed planting schemes.
Reaching around 60–90 cm in height with a spread of 45–60 cm, this strong-growing perennial forms tidy mounds of softly textured green leaves at the base, while tall wiry stems carry a succession of semi-double blooms above. Its open habit allows it to blend beautifully with grasses and neighbouring perennials.
The nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to bees and other pollinators, making Geum ‘Totally Tangerine’ an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens. It is particularly effective in cottage gardens, prairie-style borders, and sunny mixed beds where its warm tones pair well with purples, blues, and softer pastel shades.
This hardy perennial thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers fertile, moist but well-drained soil. It is easy to grow and benefits from deadheading spent flowers to prolong blooming and keep plants looking fresh throughout the season.
Flowering Period
May – June: First flush of bright apricot-orange flowers begins
June – August: Peak flowering with continuous blooms on tall airy stems
Late summer: Further flowers often continue with regular deadheading
With its glowing colour, graceful habit, and outstanding flowering performance, Geum ‘Totally Tangerine’ is an excellent low-maintenance perennial for adding energy and movement to borders all summer long.
