watering

Geum PRETTICOATS PEACH, or 'Tngeupp' should be watered when the top 2 inches of soil is dry. Water deeply until water flows out of the drainage hole in the bottom of the container. In summer, once every 7-10 days is usually sufficient. In winter, water is needed less frequently, typically once every 2 weeks. Avoid overwatering as this can cause the roots to rot. It is important to note that plants in containers may require more frequent watering than those planted in the ground.

sunlight

Avens (Geum 'Tngeupp' PRETTICOATS PEACH) can grow in full sun or lightly shaded locations, and prefer at least 6 hours of sunlight each day. If given enough sunlight, they can thrive in both sunny and lightly shaded areas. For best results when growing in full sun, ensure that the location has some protection from the direct sunlight during the hottest part of the day. Generally, the mornings and evenings are best for providing the perfect amount of sunlight for this species.

pruning

Light pruning should be done in spring when new growth begins. Pruning should consist of removing deadwood, crossing branches, and any stems that appear ‘leggy’ or are weak. An occasional cutting back of straggly plants may also be beneficial. Geum ‘Tngeupp’ PRETTICOATS PEACH may also benefit from thinning out older flower stems and cutting back any old flower heads. Too much pruning can reduce the flowering potential of the plant, so don’t be too aggressive. Cut back lightly to promote a compact and healthy shape.
