Description
The Geum Flore Pleno Blazing Sunset, also known as Benoite, bears exceptionally large, double flowers in a beautiful scarlet red from June to September. A stunning perennial in Cottage-style gardens and wildflower bouquets.
Originally from Chile and belonging to the Rosaceae family, the Benoite is a hardy herbaceous perennial, tolerant of temperatures as low as -15 °C. The Flore Pleno Blazing Sunset variety stands out for the size of its flowers: 50% larger than other varieties. They are double, a magnificent scarlet red, and bloom at the top of slender, branching stems. Its evergreen leaves are lobed and dentate, a beautiful medium green. It has a spreading habit, reaching a height of 60 cm (23.6 in) and a width of 45 cm (17.7 in).
Growing Geum is easy. If sown early, it behaves like an annual, providing flowering in the first year. It thrives in full sun or partial shade, in moist, humus-rich, well-drained soil.
It is a plant with delicate charm that integrates well in Cottage gardens as well as in Curé gardens. You can plant it in border beds where it will work wonders alongside other Benoites, Crocosmias, Sulphur Cosmos, or the Monarda Fireball.

Planting and care
Sow Geums from February to July on the surface of a good seed compost. Gently cover the seeds with a thin layer of vermiculite. Place the seed tray in a propagator (or enclose it in a polythene bag) at a temperature of 18 to 20 °C. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Germination usually takes between 30 and 90 days.
When the young plants are large enough to handle, proceed with transplantation. Gradually acclimatize the plants to cooler conditions until they are sturdy enough to be planted outdoors. Transplant into well-drained soil at a distance of 30 cm (11.8 in), in moist, well-drained soil, in full sun or partial shade.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
