Koi Geum

Koi Geum (Geum coccineum 'Koi') is a luminous, free-flowering perennial that produces an abundance of vivid, warm-toned blooms in rich shades of bright orange with golden-yellow stamens — a color palette as captivating and dynamic as the ornamental fish that inspired its name. The semi-double, ruffled flowers are held on slender, upright stems above a low, dense mound of rich green, deeply lobed foliage, creating a cheerful and elegant layered effect from spring through early summer.

These Professional Grade 4" plants are grown with heritage practices, developing strong, fibrous root systems that establish reliably and return with vigor each season. Koi Geum is a superb choice for cottage gardens, mixed perennial borders, and rock gardens, where its warm, jewel-toned blooms provide some of the earliest and most vibrant color of the growing season. Equally effective in containers or as a long-blooming border edging plant, it pairs beautifully with blue and purple perennials such as Salvia, Nepeta, and Geranium for striking complementary color combinations.

• Vivid Warm-Toned Blooms in Early to Mid-Season: Rich bright orange flowers with golden stamens provide some of the most eye-catching early-season color available in the perennial garden, standing out brilliantly against fresh spring and early summer foliage.
• Prolific, Long-Lasting Bloom Season: Produces an extended flush of flowers from late spring through early summer, with the potential for repeat blooming in fall in cooler climates — delivering exceptional seasonal color value from a single plant.
• Pollinator-Friendly & Wildlife Garden Asset: The open-faced, nectar-rich flowers attract bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects from the first warm days of spring, making Koi Geum a valuable addition to pollinator-focused and habitat garden designs.
• Elegant Low Mounding Habit: The dense, compact foliage mound remains tidy and attractive even when not in bloom, providing effective ground-level coverage and weed suppression at the front of borders and in rock garden settings.
• Cold Hardy & Reliable Perennial Performer: A tough, cold-tolerant perennial that returns dependably each spring, becoming more floriferous and full with each passing year — a long-term investment in garden color and structure.

These 4" healthy live plants thrive in full sun to part shade with consistently moist, well-drained, fertile soil. Avoid prolonged summer heat and drought; afternoon shade is beneficial in hot inland climates. Hardy in USDA zones 5–9. Mature height: 12–18 inches in bloom; spread: 12–15 inches. Primary bloom time: April–June, with possible rebloom in fall. Deadhead spent flowers to extend blooming and divide clumps every 2–3 years in spring to maintain vigor.
