Geum chiloense 'Lady Stratheden'

Why I Grow It
Why I Grow It
I grow 'Lady Stratheden' because it offers something few perennials do—a long season of cheerful golden blooms combined with exceptional reliability. Its bright flowers bring warmth and elegance to the garden from late spring into summer, while its compact habit makes it easy to incorporate into gardens of any size. I do recommend using a peony cage or something similar to keep the blooming stems upright if planted as a border. I also appreciate how well it supports pollinators and pairs beautifully with cottage garden favorites like foxgloves, columbines, and campanulas. It's a classic perennial that never goes out of style and continues to brighten the garden year after year.
Care Tips:
Care Tips:
Plant in fertile, well-drained soil that remains evenly moist but not waterlogged.
Grow in full sun where summers are mild or provide afternoon shade in hotter climates.
Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continued blooming throughout the season.
Divide mature clumps every few years to maintain vigor and encourage abundant flowering.
Cut back old flower stems after blooming and remove damaged foliage in late fall or early spring.
