Terra Nova releases first geum in new Tempo series

CANBY, Ore. – Terra Nova Nurseries has announced a new variety named Geum Tempo ‘Orange.’ This variety is the first introduction to the new Tempo series from Terra Nova Nurseries.

Geum Tempo ‘Orange’ has cream-to-peach-to-orange, semi-double flowers that bloom in massive amounts in early spring and last throughout the summer. Its mounding habit with a high crown count and ability to attract pollinators make this geum a versatile garden or landscape plant.

This easy-growing variety thrives in full sun with moderate amounts of drying between waterings; has hardiness zones of 5-9; a foliage height of 9 inches; foliage spread of 16 inches; and flower height of 15 inches. For a 4-inch pot, the finish time is between 4-6 weeks. For a gallon-sized pot, the finish time is from 6-8 weeks.
