Geum 'Mai Tai' from the Cocktails Series is a clump-forming, herbaceous perennial with basal rosettes of lobed green leaves.

Large, ruffled, semi-double flowers open pale orange with pink tinges and mature to softer shades. Flowering occurs from late spring to mid-summer, providing a long season of colour.

The plant forms a tidy mound, with flower stems rising above the foliage. Use it in sunny borders, wildlife gardens, or containers for early summer colour.
