Plant Features

Mai Tai Geum Plant bears ruffled 1 to 1 1/2 inch single and semi-double blossoms atop deep burgundy stems, a stunning contrast to the dazzling peachy, rosy colors displayed on each petal. Mai Tai ages gracefully too, gently fading from vivid sunrise colors to the warm color of a pastel yellow sunny day. It has fuzzy foliage!

Our Geum Plants are grown with care and free from harmful pesticides, ensuring they are a safe and vibrant addition to your garden. Guaranteed to arrive healthy and ready to thrive!

Planting Instructions:

  • - Best planted in spring or fall for optimal root establishment
  • - Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for mature growth

Soil Preparation:

  • - Ideal soil pH: 6.0-7.5
  • - Prefers well-drained, fertile soil, though tolerates poorer soils as long as they drain well

Watering Specifics:

  • - Water thoroughly when first planted, allowing soil to dry slightly between waterings
  • - Once established, Geum prefers consistent moisture but is moderately drought-tolerant

Fertilizer Type:

  • - Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy growth and abundant blooms
  • - Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to more foliage and fewer flowers

Pruning and Training:

  • - Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming
  • - Cut back in late fall or early spring to maintain shape and promote fresh growth

Additional Pest Management:

  • - Geum is generally pest-resistant, though monitor for aphids or slugs in wet conditions
  • - Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues like powdery mildew

Blooming Indicators:

  • - Blooms from late spring to early summer with bright flowers in shades of red, orange, yellow, or pink

Temperature Tolerance:

  • - Hardy in USDA zones 5-8, tolerates mild frost and cool weather

Companion Plants for Geum:

  • - Echinacea: Complements Geum’s bright flowers with its daisy-like blooms and pollinator appeal
  • - Salvia: Adds vertical spikes of blue or purple that contrast beautifully with Geum’s rounded blooms
  • - Coreopsis: Offers a continuous display of yellow flowers that pairs well with Geum’s colorful blooms
  • - Achillea: Complements Geum with its clusters of long-lasting flowers and similar drought tolerance
  • - Lavender: Adds a fragrant, drought-tolerant companion that pairs beautifully with Geum’s vibrant colors

Mai Tai Geum Plant

I'm very happy with my Mai Tai Geum plant. IT arrived in very good conditions. It was very well packed and the plant is already flowering. I highly recommend this seller.

Mai Tai Geum Plant

The Geum plants came in healthy and with a bonus annual plant! I've had Geum plants in the past and just loved their vibrant blooms. I've read the reviews on the new varieties so I am anxious to see how they perform in my garden.
