Perennials

Geum 'Tempo Rose'

Tempo Rose Avens

Geum 'Tempo Rose' bears softly cupped, rose-pink flowers with warm golden centers that open in late spring and continue into early summer, carried on slender branching stems above compact green foliage. Gentle petal texture and clear coloration create a calm, welcoming presence that enlivens borders and seasonal plantings with steady bloom.

Developed through modern hybrid breeding from mixed garden ancestry, it reflects ongoing selection for refined color, recurrent flowering, and balanced growth suited to temperate landscapes.

Design tip

The long summer show pairs well with plants that peak earlier, keeping one area interesting for months. Because it is easy about light, use it to carry a planting from a sunny end of the bed into the shadier side.
