Yes, I love the look of that Cosmopolitan Geum too - approximately how tall does it grow Yviestevie? The flower looks a sort of copper/peachy colour. I don't know Fireball either - not seen either of these in our Garden Centre.
Hi Folks, So far Cosmopolitan has remained quite compact. I bought it last year. Not sure about seeds but it's one of the cocktail series, they also do Mai Tai. I bought it online from Paddock Plants.
Thanks YvieStevie, I do like the look of the Fireball, the flowers are quite striking in colour and the Cosmopolitan looks yummy! I will scout around to see if I can find them on sale locally.
I have had serious thoughts about the Mrs Bradshaw today - one of mine (two or three years old) has fallen apart as if a cat had sat in the middle, making the plant look a total mess - I really do think that the flower stems are too tall for the plant - anyway I have staked it with bamboos & string for now, until I decide whether to keep it going for another year.
Geum seeds. I can't remember when I should start collecting these - some of my flowers have finished and so the seed heads are left but are they still too fresh and ripe to pick and dry?
At last I have managed to buy a Geum Cocktail Tequila Sunrise - the plant doesn't have any flowers and in fact I am not sure if it may already have flowered this year. Do you have one of these YvevieStevie?

I also love the look of that Cosmopolitan Yviestevie. Never seen it before. It's lovely.
Does anyone know if you can buy the Cosmopolitan geum seeds anywhere? I've had a look but to no avail.

Would anyone be interested in Mrs. Bradshaw seeds? I have quite a few drying seed heads which I would be happy to send.
