Whatever your style, these pumpkin-orange double pompon blooms will bring it to life, kickstarting summer with a glow which could make anyone giddy. Unlike most avens, Geum 'Orange Pumpkin' is extra special because it can rebloom again and again through the season. Remove the spent stems regularly and more will grow.

Useful information
-
Soak the Geum 'Orange Pumpkin' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting
Plant your "Double avens" bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost in spring and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors
Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed. Some varieties are a length of root which should be planted lengthways and shallowly (1-2cm deep).
Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
