Care & Usage Instructions:
Geum ‘Mrs Bradshaw’ performs best in full sun but will also thrive in very light partial shade. It prefers fertile, moist but well-drained soil; ensure it does not sit in waterlogged ground during the winter months. To encourage a continuous flush of scarlet flowers throughout the summer, ensure you deadhead the spent blooms promptly by cutting the stem back to a side bud or the basal leaves. In early spring, tidy up the plant by removing any dead or winter-damaged foliage. To maintain the plant's health and vigor, it is beneficial to divide the clumps every 3 to 4 years in spring or autumn.
