Geum ‘Totally Tangerine’ – Non-Stop Tangerine Blooms

The Geum ‘Totally Tangerine’ is one of the most popular and reliable geums, loved for its long season of flowering and vibrant tangerine-orange blooms. Unlike many geums that flower briefly in late spring, this variety produces an abundance of cheerful, semi-double flowers from late spring right through summer and often well into autumn.

Held on wiry stems above attractive mounds of green foliage, the blooms dance in the breeze and add a bright, uplifting splash of colour to borders and containers. Hardy, versatile, and easy to grow, ‘Totally Tangerine’ is an outstanding perennial for gardeners looking for both resilience and vibrant, long-lasting display.

Care Guide

Geum ‘Totally Tangerine’ is easy to grow and low-maintenance, rewarding gardeners with months of colour for very little effort.

Planting

• When to plant: Best in spring or early autumn, though container-grown plants can be planted anytime.

• Depth & spacing: Plant at the same depth as in the pot; space 40–50cm apart.

• Preparation: Improve soil with compost or organic matter to help retain moisture and fertility.

• Containers: Excellent in pots – use a multipurpose compost with good drainage.

Watering & Feeding

• Water regularly in the first year to establish deep roots.

• Once established, geums tolerate normal rainfall but benefit from extra water during dry spells.

• Feed every 2–3 weeks in summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser to prolong flowering.

Pruning & Maintenance

• Deadhead regularly to encourage repeat flowering and prevent seed setting.

• Cut back spent stems to the base to keep plants tidy and promote fresh growth.

• In late autumn, trim old foliage to neaten the clump and make way for new spring growth.

• Divide clumps every 3–4 years in spring or autumn to rejuvenate plants and maintain vigour.

Protection

• Fully hardy with no need for special winter protection.

• Generally pest- and disease-free, though aphids may appear on flower stems.

• Avoid waterlogged soils in winter, which can cause crown rot.
