More information

An adorable avens that produces semi-double flowers in various shades of pink from April to June. They are carried by almost black, well-branched dark purple stems. They emerge from a cluster of wavy leaves in a beautiful glossy green, which are semi-evergreen in winter. Its dense habit, robustness, and floribundity make this perennial an excellent choice for all slightly wild, moist and rich borders, in sun or light shade.

Description

Geum Tempo Rose stands out with its compact habit, which beautifully serves its particularly colourful, long-lasting and generous flowering. This perennial forms a clump of crinkled leaves in a glossy green, from which emerge throughout spring very dark, stout and ramified floral stems, bearing numerous semi-double flowers that open in a bright pink colour. They gradually fade into different shades of pink, creating a lovely range of pink hues throughout the plant. It fits well in all romantic or slightly wild borders, in full sun or light shade.

 

Geum Tempo Rose belongs to the Rosaceae family, just like beard plants, and strawberries. The wild parents of this hybrid are plants that grow in moist to wet environments in the northern hemisphere. They have semi-evergreen leaves that are slightly coarse, highly veined, and lobed, forming a dense clump. For several months, the plants produce tall, ramified stems well above the foliage, bearing cup-shaped flowers with a discreet countryside charm. These flowers resemble those of potentillas.

Through the work of horticulturists, numerous descendants with various colours have appeared, such as Geum Tempo Rose, which produces an abundance of delightful semi-double flowers with changing colours from April to June. They are born in a bright pink, they then take on more pastel shades of pink, retaining a throat that is even more pink! It is a delight for the eyes. Pollinators love them! The dark purple calyx and stems enhance these colours. The clump will reach a height of 40 to 50cm (16 to 20in) when in flower, with a width of about 60cm (24in).

 

Floriferous, robust and yet delicate, Geum Tempo Rose only requires moist, slightly acidic to slightly alkaline, well-drained soil. Full sun is recommended for better flowering, but light shade is also tolerated.


It will create a sensation with Aconite 'Purple Sparrow', Japanese anemone 'Little Princess', Amsonia 'Blue Ice', or Japanese primrose 'Miller's Crimson', for bucolic and slightly wild scenes. You can place it along pathways, in moist rockeries, or even at the edge of a pond as long as the soil remains well-drained. Its compact size is ideal for containers.

Tips: as with many avens, it does not have a particularly long lifespan. Therefore, it is wise to divide the clump every 3 years or so, in order to avoid losing the plant. By doing so, you will be able to keep your plant for years. By multiplying the plants, you will have the opportunity to create a beautiful ground cover that will smother weeds.

Planting and care

Geum Tempo Rose, hardy to at least -15°C (5°F), appreciates a sunny or semi-shaded, open location, and normal to rich, light, moist, and well-drained soil. It does not tolerate winter humidity. It will not withstand waterlogged soils in winter. 

Planting can be done in spring or autumn. Be sure to regularly remove faded flowers to encourage the emergence of new flower buds and ensure continuous flowering. Due to its relatively short lifespan, divide the clumps every 3 or 4 years, in spring or autumn. Regular organic fertilisation is beneficial.

Highly resistant to diseases, it is susceptible to sawfly larvae attacks, which can damage the foliage. Excessive drought can also make it susceptible to powdery mildew.
