Geum JAZZY™ ‘Tempo Rose’

Common Name:
Tempo Rose Avens

Description:
Geum JAZZY™ ‘Tempo Rose’ is a refined and eye‑catching herbaceous perennial, bred for both elegance and reliability. It features semi‑double rose‑pink to peach‑toned blossoms that are borne on short, wiry stems just above the foliage, giving a floating effect above its neat mound. The blooms appear in late spring and persist into early summer, providing a soft, romantic accent to garden beds, borders, or container plantings. Its foliage forms a tidy, semi-evergreen clump of lobed green leaves that subtly recede in winter but recover quickly in spring. The JAZZY/Tempo series is bred for compactness and disease resistance, making ‘Tempo Rose’ a strong performer in Melbourne’s gardens. It thrives when planted in moist, well‑drained soil, and benefits from moderate watering during dry spells. Deadheading spent flowers encourages a more generous blooming window, and in autumn a light feed will support healthy growth.
