- In this video we are adding some beautiful yellow Geums to our perennial border. There used to be a hardy geranium in this position but we appear to have lost it over the winter so we needed something to replace it with, and what better than a pop of yellow from these tall hardy perennial plants.

Have we mentioned that we love geums! Your garden has everything we love :)
Thanks so much guys 😁We're the same with all your lovely plants, just think if we were neighbours we would be swapping plants over the fence all the time 💛🤩
@@MadAboutGardening Why have a fence! One big garden! wooo hoooo. You could teach us the english names of all these flowers.
@perennial-garden Great idea 🤣 and you could teach us the Danish names 😁❤️
@@MadAboutGardening Lars can! I just nod when he says whatever he says
Haha 🤣 🧡
Beautiful yellow geums, They are the bees knees. I have two red Mrs Bradshaw planted in the flowerbed and one orange alpine geum Koi growing in a pot.
We just love them as they just keep flowering and they are so easy to divide and make new plants. Mrs Bradshaw is a nice one too, we've had that in past. Thanks for watching Nicholas, hope you're having a great weekend 👍
I have total tangerine from last year and bought Mrs Bradshaw this year … love them x
They are so easy and floriferous. Mrs Bradshaw is a popular one, we used to have it many years ago too. Take care 😀
I didn't realize you could divide perennials in full flower!
You have to be extra careful but it can be done. These weren't divided though, just split up as there were 3 individual plants in the pot 👍
I have a yellow Geum called Lady Stratheden. Geums are beautiful plants and like you, I have them in all the colours. For some reason, I don't seem to get them flowering for months on end like other people seem to do even though I deadhead religiously. Yours is lovely especially next to the Aquilegias and Allium and what a bargain. xxx
Geum 'Lady Stratheden' is a lovely one too Wendy. I can't remember if we've had this one before but I like how there are so many different Geums with different colours. We like to feed them well with manure to get more flowers however the first flush is always the best. I couldn't believe my luck when I found these for the same price as the red ones we bought. They just had to come home with us. Take care Wendy xxx
Greetings from Kentucky, I currently grow Geum Tempo Rose and Geum Petticoats Peach. At least for me where I garden, Geum plants don't do well. It might be that I am not keeping them watered enough in our hot summers. I have them side by side in full sun in front of some Siberian iris. They get a little shade from these plants. The Petticoats Peach will flower once in the Spring (but not much) and no more despite deadheading. The Tempo Rose is two years old and has not flowered yet. The foliage is pretty, but they just don't flower that much for me. Yours are beautiful. Have a great weekend, James
Thanks so much James, we have the rain that they love here in the UK. If you can get hold of farmyard manure, try mulching around the plants with it as that will feed them and help keep the moisture in. You have some nice varieties in your garden. Thanks again James 😊👍
@@MadAboutGardening I will give that a try. I might consider this autumn moving them from full sun to part sun. Our summers get 95-100 degrees everyday with little rains until autumn.
@user-zt6qh3mx7v Good idea James, give that a try and see if they do any better. Sounds like my kind of climate, it's always raining here 🤣
A friend in your neck of the woods told me to do part shade and watch your water when the temps get high.
@@CA-rx9ze Yes, it's already getting into the 85-90 degrees range in my area and no rain in the forecast for the next ten days. I'm going to move them to part shade this autumn.
I have the orange, red and the peachy Mai Tai, but not the yellow one. It's lovely. My only problem with geums is how fast they grow! I'm constantly dividing them, to my friends' delight lol
Mai Tai is on our list for next time we see it for sale. It's a very popular one and I can see why with the lovely colour of the flowers. You're friends must be very happy with you 🙂
I don't have any but they do look nice and are in my consideration since you said slugs don't like them. I was looking at a Geum 'Orange Pumpkin' yesterday but I resisted temptation. Thank you 😀👍
That's one of the main attractions for us, and the flowers of course 😁. Plants that slugs don't eat are very welcome. G. 'Orange Pumpkin' looks great, we've not seen that one here before in garden centres. You did very well resisting, I don't think I could have been so restrained 🤣Take care Richy 😀👍
@@MadAboutGardening I know I'll end up buying one because it'll make a great photo subject and it looks stunning, plant approx 30cmx30cm. They grow them in their own nursery too 😀It can have a special pot all for itself, a nice new galvanised steel one 😎I have work tomorrow, 4 late shifts so, take care end enjoy the weekend 😀👍 I'll buy one on Thursday 🤣
@martianleaderrichy1520 I don't blame you Richy, life is too short not to have the things we want 😁. It looks stunning. All of ours are single flowers but this double looks great 👍 Hope work goes well. We have been enjoying the weather with another trip to Wales yesterday and some filming this morning. The garden is flowering lovely now, it's a pleasure to be out amongst it. Take care Richy, have a good week. 😁👍
@@MadAboutGardening Thank you, yes and this will have to be my last purchase apart from maybe something from Elizabeth's in July as I'm seriously running out of space for decent sunny areas. All these cuttings will need to go somewhere too, keep or give away😆Weather getting cooler after tomorrow up here 😒Wales sounds good and I see you have another video out too, will watch soon. Got all my Eryngiums staked up 👍Busy at work so no gardening apart from late watering. Hope you both enjoy your week, happy gardening 😃👍
@martianleaderrichy1520 Yes, save some space for something special from Elizabeth's nursery and for your Eryngiums. I love propagating so much I always grow more plants than I can manage but it's just so enjoyable. My dream to have our own nursery one day so I can propagate to my hearts content! Thanks for watching the visit to Abbeywood Gardens 👍 Wales was lovely as the weather was nice on Saturday, we fell asleep in chairs on the beach ⛱️ . Have a good week too 😄👍
