Sunbeam
Geum Seeds
Sunbeam geum combines the brilliant scarlet red Blazing Sunset geum and the sunny yellow Sunrise geum to create an eye-catching color display in spring and summer. Double rose-like blooms are 2/12 to 3 in. wide, nearly twice as large as other geum flowers. Sunbeam geums are long-lasting as cut flowers. Branching stems reach 2 to 3 ft above compact, evergreen mounds of fuzzy, finely toothed leaves. Winter hardy to zone 4.
Growing Sunbeam Geum Seeds
Plant Geum Seeds: Sow geum seeds in cell packs or flats, barely cover. Light aids germination. Kept at 68°F., germination is in 21-30 days. Transplant geum seedlings 12 to 18 in. apart. Can direct sow in prepared seed beds, in groups of 3-4 seeds spaced 12 to 18 in. apart. Thin to the strongest plant.
Grow Geum: Full sun in mild summer climates, afternoon shade where it is hot. Geum dislikes heat combined with humidity. Prefers moist, fertile soil with good winter drainage. Remove faded flowers to extend bloom season. An excellent cut flower; long, wiry stems make for easy arrangement. Geum plants are deer and rabbit resistant. Cut plants back hard after bloom to improve appearance and vigor. Divide plants every three to four years.
