I have one called (I think) 'Totally Tangerine' which grows under and through a Philadelphus bush. It flowered last year for months on end and I love it. I noticed the other day that it has just started to show green again.

I too have one, a Geum Borisii I love it as it flowers all summer. I tried 'Mrs Bradshaw' but it not seem to like my garden.

I've tried a few geums but they don't seem to last more than three or four years with me

Andrew, they do need to be dug up and replanted in fresh soil rather often, same as Asters really.

I love Geum rivale, but I too find it dies out rather quickly in the soil here.

Geum rivale is definitely a bog plant with us too. I grow it in the dry stream bed.

I have 2 orange ones , one borisii 'orange queen' and another called Koi as in a goldfish colour. Not keen on the larger ones like Lady Strathden. I dont like their 'straggly' habit .

do like the wild wood avens though.

Have a look at this site

Thanks. I did have them in my Bookmarks, but had forgotten.

Some lovely unique ones here too ... east-of-eden-nursery.co.uk. A fantastic one called East of Eden which I'm buying this year along with toffee apple and probably some others:-)

Wow. Thanks muchly for that link.

You're very welcome Owdboggy. I did a blog last year showing pics of his exhibit if you're interested, it's May, Malvern part 1, worth seeing the pics if you're a geum lover. I bought a few of his from there, but he'd sold out of toffee apple and of course, he hadn't bred east of eden then:-)

Please may I win the Lottery? Then perhaps I could afford to buy some of them.

:-)
