How to Grow Geum Chiloense Red Dragon from Seed

Growing Geum Chiloense Red Dragon from seed is straightforward with the right steps. Sow the seeds in late winter or autumn in well-draining seed compost, and lightly cover them. Water the seeds from below, ensuring the soil remains moist but not soggy. Germination can be slow, so be patient.

For late winter-sown plants, harden them off before planting outside in spring. Geum is a perennial, and to keep the plant young and healthy, it can be divided every few years. After the first bloom, cutting the plant back often encourages a second flowering. Follow these steps for a vibrant display of Geum Chiloense Red Dragon in your garden.
