Geum 'Nonna' is a clump-forming perennial that forms a compact mound of deeply lobed, wrinkled green leaves with toothed edges.

Semi-double flowers appear on slender stems above the foliage from spring to mid-summer. Each bloom is golden yellow with rich orange-red margins, fading to soft peach as it matures.

This plant adds colour and texture to borders, wildlife-friendly gardens, and cottage garden schemes. Its upright flower stems stand above the foliage, creating a layered display.
