Garden Gems Mai Tai
Everything about the Mai Tai Geum is refreshing: apricot-watermelon-colored, fluttery, poppy-like blooms; those adorable purple stems, (purple stems!!!); mounding, forest-green, textured leaves with feathered edges. They grow like a columbine or coralbells, with their handsome foliage growing compact and low, and their lovely flowers on long stems waving high above.
Geum is perennial, adaptable, and easy to grow, in addition to being a bountiful bloomer of bright and joyful flowers. So get some Mai Tai's, bud! It's 5 o'clock somewhere.
Includes three young plants, grown in 2.5” diameter pots

Growing Info
Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball. Fill a little bit of the loose dirt back into the hole and tuck your plant in so the base of the stem is even with the top of the hole. Now fill in the rest of the soil around the roots, give the soft ground around the base of your new plant friend a few solid pats to compress the soil onto the roots, and a long, gentle drink of water | |
Find a place that gets a decent amount of sun, with well-draining soil. Afternoon shade is welcome in hot summer climates | |
Plant outside in the late spring, once the soil has warmed up. Avoid the heat of the day when planting — plant in the early morning, late afternoon, or by the light of the moon | |
Late spring to summer | |
Water regularly and pick blooms to encourage more | |
Cut back the wilted foliage mid-summer to trigger a fresh growth of leaves |
