GEUM 'PINK PETTICOATS'

Geums have always been so reliable in my gardens but a while ago one died, as all plants do eventually, and this year I have bought two that I have never grown before.  One is Geum Mai Tai which came as a bare root plant and right now is in a pot with little top growth.  The other is Geum Pink Petticoats, below, which I bought at a large garden centre.  I think it is something rather special.

Sorry about the quality of the above image, try as I might I cannot get the flower in perfect focus.  The breeze isn't helping! Interestingly, when I look at pictures online this flower appears to be all kinds of pinks but my Geum Pink Petticoats is as my photo, rather a salmony kinda pink. 

Geum 'Pink Petticoats' which flowers all spring and summer, seems to be unfussy, tolerating any soil conditions, any aspect but north, sun or partial shade, and grows to a height and spread of up to 0.5 metres (20in). More importantly, it has the RHS Award of Garden Merit (AGM) which means it is reliable.
