In the past few years we have seen a well-deserved increase of interest in Geums. The rugged, roughly kidney-shaped leaves are cupped and lightly woolly. They form a low mound of evergreen foliage from which the numerous flowering stems rise bearing their brightly colored saucer-shaped flowers. Dead-heading promotes a second round of blooms. Geum `Fire Lake' finds itself at home in our Rose and Clematis border where it underplants a yellow rose.
