Geum ‘Prinses Juliana’ is an easy to grow, very hardy perennial, which can tolerate extremely low temperatures, down to as low as -20C (-4F) and possibly lower. If you garden in a particularly cold climate, or in a very exposed, cold area, ensure that you really can offer your plant well drained soil over wintertime, to provide your plant with its best chance of survival. If your soil tends to be very waterlogged during winter, either plant your Geum in a container or add grit around your plant’s roots at planting time.
