Geum hybrid 'Tempo Rose'

Common Name:
Geum 'Tempo Rose'

Description:
Geum hybrid 'Tempo Rose' is a vibrant and compact perennial prized for its long-lasting display of semi-double rose-pink blooms held on slender, upright stems above a tidy mound of scalloped green foliage. Part of the popular 'Tempo' series, this variety flowers prolifically from mid-spring through to early summer, often with a light repeat in autumn if conditions are favourable. The soft yet luminous pink flowers bring a cheerful pop of colour to borders, cottage gardens, and mixed perennial beds. 'Tempo Rose' prefers full sun to part shade and performs best in well-drained soils enriched with organic matter. It's well-suited to Melbourne’s climate and benefits from regular deadheading to prolong its flowering period. With a compact, clumping habit and a strong resistance to pests and diseases, this is an easy-care choice that works beautifully at the front of borders or in decorative pots.
