Joe Mott, Senior Gardener, Wimpole Gardens, Cambridgeshire says:
We have a history of growing Geum at Wimpole. They are so easy to look after and provide months of bright, cheerful colour in the border each year.
Over the centuries, Wimpole has been owned by several families, and each has left its mark. The Civil War, a true love match and a collection of priceless manuscripts that formed the core of the British Library are just some of its stories. Stroll around the parterre garden and wander through the Pleasure Ground to the Walled Garden, abundant with fruit, vegetables and beautiful herbaceous borders.
