Orange Pumpkin Geum

This Geum is shipped as a dormant bareroot, which is a healthy, established root system without soil. This method allows the plant to focus its energy on establishing strong roots in your garden soil immediately after planting, often resulting in faster growth than potted nursery plants.

This variety is hardy in zones 4 through 8. If you live within these zones, the plant is winter-hardy and should return each spring, especially since it features semi-evergreen foliage that provides some interest even in cooler months.

Yes, its compact size of 18 to 20 inches makes it an excellent candidate for container gardening. Ensure your pot has adequate drainage holes and use a high-quality potting mix to support its growth throughout the season.

One of the best features of this variety is its extended bloom time. You can expect continuous, ruffled orange flowers from late spring through late summer, typically spanning from May to August.

While no plant is completely deer-proof, Geums are generally considered deer-resistant. Deer typically avoid them due to their texture and taste, making them a safer choice for gardens that experience frequent wildlife visits.
