Geum Fiery Tempest does not look like a plant that grows up to 45 cm in height (as the label says), but it seems to have more vigorous stems than its sister Geum Scarlet Tempest.

Being just planted, I don't have much to say, Geums are just spectacular. 
In Autumn I will come back with comments about how resistant they are and how much have flourished.
