Fire Storm' Avens
Regarded as an improved version of Geum ‘Fireball’, Geum ‘Fire Storm’ is a clump-forming, herbaceous perennial with twice the flower power of ‘Fireball’ but half the plant size. Vigorous, compact and long blooming, it produces an abundance of semi-double flowers, opening a rich fiery orange, suffused with scarlet towards the petal edges, then maturing to a brighter, slightly yellower orange shade. And they open over many months, appearing in late spring through early to midsummer. The blooms give way to attractive, fluffy seed heads. Borne on sparsely leafed wiry stems, they rise well above the fresh and lush foliage of lobed basal leaves.
