How to care for Geum Mai Tai (PBR) (Cocktail Series):
Incorporate plenty of organic matter into the planting location and backfill, spacing plants 30-45cm (12-18in) apart. Plant the crown at soil level, water thoroughly after planting, and mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Regular deadheading can prolong the flowering period, ensuring a continuous display of its stunning blooms. Additionally, lift and divide large clumps every year in early spring or late autumn to maintain plant health and vigour, promoting new growth and preventing overcrowding.
Please note:
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
