Geum quellyon

I believe this is a Geum quellyon, although they are more frequent in rd - hence the common name of scarlet avens. I was surprised to see it thriving in the garden in November after fairly heavy weather and a real cold snap. I think it is a survivor of some I planted a few summers back, and which re-emerge for certain periods. I wondered if anyone could give me any tips, advice or information about these plants and anything I can do to provide the best environment for them. To be fair, they seem to be doing fine with minimal interference from me, but if anyone has any particular experience with them that would be of interest. Alternatively, any information about the plant and its natural history and/or biology is always of interest. I have read up on the usual websites, but there is always more to learn! Thanks.

 

Its an interesting plant
I understand these plants are also called bloody mary and Grecian rose Geums are short-lived perennials that require division every few years to renew the patch. Otherwise, they will naturally decline and disappear.
Although they can be prone to.root rot they will adapt to any soil conditions
It is amazing they blooming in November but lately I noticed flowers are blooming when normally they should be dormant maybe like the weather they gone crazy lol

 

Many thanks! I particularly appreciate the advice about division.At this stage there is only one flower left above ground, but presumably I will need to divide the root ball in the winter.

 

Does this apply to other varieties of Geums @Janet mahay ? I have Geum Rivale , Mrs Bradshaw and Koi . Only discovered Geums 2 years ago , it is a plant I like

 

Most geums are similar to one another in soils and looking after but there are some website's dealing with different sorts of different geums so it would be good to look them up for more info,
Geums are proving to be popular as some are said to be slug free plant as well as tolerating different soils infact i am thinking of growing one next year janet
