Blazing Sunset Geum (Geum ‘Blazing Sunset’)

Blazing Sunset Geum (Geum ‘Blazing Sunset’) is a vibrant perennial known for its rich red, semi-double flowers that bloom from late spring into summer. The bright, warm-toned blooms are held above compact green foliage, creating a strong colour display in borders and cottage-style gardens.

This variety is especially valued for its ability to provide early-season colour, bridging the gap between spring bulbs and summer perennials. Its upright flower stems make it suitable for cut flower use, while its compact growth makes it ideal for edging and smaller garden spaces.

In Alberta, geum performs best in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil with moderate moisture. It benefits from consistent watering during dry periods but does not tolerate soggy conditions. With proper care, it is a reliable and attractive addition to mixed perennial plantings.
