Yellow Tempo™ Geum, Geum Yellow Tempo™, or Yellow Tempo™ Avens is a dependable, long-blooming perennial with 1-inch, roselike, semi-double, lemon-yellow blooms that burst forth from pink buds, beginning in spring and lasting until late summer. Perched atop wiry dark-purple stems that grow to a height of 14 to 20 inches, the luscious flowers of this striking Geum will keep your cottage garden sunny for the entire season. The Yellow Tempo™ is semi-evergreen, and the leaves are divided into many wispy leaflets, forming an elegant, green mound at the base of the plant that has a spread from 14 to 24 inches.
Yellow Tempo™ Geum, bred by Terra Nova Nurseries, has a vigorous, mounding growth habit and has flirty, ruffled blooms and strawberry-like foliage. Native to Asia, New Zealand, and Africa, the Yellow Tempo™ Geum attracts multitudes of butterflies and pollinators, and is deer and rabbit resistant. Geum is excellent as a cut flower and adds a sprig of sunshine yellow to any bouquet or arrangement.
Yellow Tempo™ Geum Care
Yellow Tempo™ Geum should be planted in full to partial sun or dappled shade. In warmer climates, some shade may be necessary to preserve your Geum. Yellow Tempo™ prefers moist, loamy soil that is well-drained. Soil that is too wet can be fatal to the plant. Geum should receive regular watering.
Deadhead the spent flowers of your Yellow Tempo™ regularly to encourage long-term reblooming.
Yellow Tempo™ Geum Spacing
Yellow Tempo™ Geum looks excellent when planted en masse. It works well along borders and can be grown in containers as a thriller or a filler. Geum should be planted at least 18 inches apart from center to center. They are perfect for creating attractive cottage ground covers and can be planted as annuals if preferred. Plant alongside bellflower, daisies, heuchera, and hydrangeas for a colorful, spring-flowering garden.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
