Geum Jazzy ‘Scarlet Tempest'

Common Name:
Scarlet Tempest Avens

Description:
Geum Jazzy ‘Scarlet Tempest’ is a vibrant and hardy perennial that delivers a bold splash of colour to garden borders and cottage-style plantings. It features semi-double, fiery scarlet-orange blooms with a subtle ruffled edge, flowering profusely from late spring through summer and often with a secondary flush into early autumn. The flowers rise above a low mound of softly hairy, deep green foliage, creating an attractive, layered appearance in the garden. In Melbourne, this Geum thrives in full sun to part shade, preferring well-drained, fertile soil and performing best with regular watering during dry periods. ‘Scarlet Tempest’ is particularly valued for its long flowering season, neat habit, and appeal to pollinators. Deadheading spent blooms encourages repeat flowering and maintains its tidy appearance.
