Planting & Care

Where to Plant

Sunlight: Provide at least six hours of direct sunlight for the most intense rose-pink flower color and strongest stems. In very hot climates, partial afternoon shade helps the foliage stay lush and prevents the delicate petals from fading too quickly.
Soil: These perennials thrive in rich, organic soil that drains well but stays moist. If you are dealing with heavy clay, mix in several inches of compost or aged bark to improve drainage and prevent the roots from sitting in water during the winter.

Watering Requirements

During the first growing season, water your Geum twice a week to ensure the root system becomes fully established. While mature plants have some drought tolerance, keeping the soil consistently moist results in much larger bloom clusters. If the soil stays too dry for long periods, you will notice the leaf edges turning brown and a significant drop in flower production.

Pruning Tips

Tempo™ Rose Geum blooms on new growth, so you should remove spent flower stalks down to the base of the plant to encourage a second flush of roses. Think of this deadheading like a quick trim that tells the plant to stop making seeds and start making more buds. In early spring, simply clear away any dead or tattered leaves from the previous year to make room for fresh green growth.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring just as you see the first green leaves emerging from the ground. Avoid using high-nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer season. Too much nitrogen at that time forces the plant to produce soft, leafy growth that does not have enough time to harden off before the first winter freeze.
