Geums

Yet another flower I adore! This year (2022) is the first year I have grown them from seed and I am very impressed I have sown Lady Stratheden seeds from here. Also sown Blazing Sunset seeds from Chiltern Seeds . Many of the other variety seem particularly difficult to find seeds for – I have now found out that this is because some can only be propagated so I will need to invest in a few plants, or get some more plugs when they come back in stock – keep them healthy and then propagate like a crazy lady so I have plenty and also back ups for frost and bad weather! NTS fleece at the ready in winter! x

I ordered 5 Geum Cosmopolitan from J Parker Wholesale plugs – as of writing this no flowers so we wait and see.

So once i found out that only some are sold as seeds… I used this an excuse to buy a Koi – fingers crossed it doesn’t die before I have a go at propagating.

I have never had that much luck with propagating plants – but anya_thegarden_fairy (on IG) is the fairy queen of propagating and has lots and lots of videos and advice on it.
