Geum rivale | Alba plant Similar to our Leucanthemum Phyllis

Similar to our Leucanthemum Phyllis Smith but these flowers are bigger

The basal foliage though is only about 60cm wide and bushy - the word giant really comes from the tall airy stems of flowers as in my garden the clumps of foliage are only about 50-60cm high with the flowers that float above the foliage

Summer flowering

Height 90cm (with flowers x 90cm spread

Height to 90-100cm x 80cm wide

Geum rivale | Alba plant Similar to our Leucanthemum PhyllisGeum rivale "Alba" has the daintiest creamy white nodding flowers over a very long period and it is oh so pretty! Geums have fabulous foliage and grow into an attractive mound and are equally as happy in the garden or a pot. They make a great ground cover or can be used to edge a path. Whilst they are known for liking a moist situation, they are equally as happy in a drier spot, but a layer of mulch to retain moisture is always appreciated. Flowering
