Hi all - thanks for the continuing advice about the Red perennials!

I have the Geum - but I'm the one who wrote earlier in the year about it
going directly to seed without flower petals . . .remember? I have no
idea what color my Geums are. Now that I've cut off those stalks, the
base plant is quite healthy - but no flowers! I'll have to wait for
next year I guess!
I'm not opposed to *tenders*, just haven't given them much thought.
I'll try ot find your suggestions
