Mrs J. Bradshaw Geum
Best low-maintenance perennial for gardeners wanting vibrant, pollinator-friendly color.
This perennial brings a dose of vintage, scarlet drama to the garden without the high-maintenance fuss of more temperamental blooms. It’s a reliable, long-flowering choice that effortlessly fills borders and containers, though you’ll have to accept that its vibrant, upright stems are strictly for the late spring and early summer season.
