I'm hooked :) Quick correction though, Geum 'Alabama Slammer' and 'Mai Thai' (along with 'Tequila Sunrise') were bred by Brent Horvath at Intrinsic Perennials, not Walters Gardens. Walters does do a terrific job promoting them though. I've tried a few Geum recently and am undecided about their heat tolerance. Have you found them tolerant of the sweltering DC summers?

I've always liked it because, in spite of being advertised as an "early summer" bloomer, here in the DC area it starts a bit before that. It can actually bridge the gap between early perennials/spring bulbs, and the explosion of the perennial border.ChrisUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18058297328565374089noreply@blogger.com
