Plant Biography

Geum chiloense, native to the Chilean Andes, was introduced to European horticulture in the 19th century. The cultivar ‘Mrs Bradshaw’ was developed for its striking red flowers and robust growth. Named after a prominent horticulturist’s wife, it gained popularity in gardens for its vibrant blooms and hardiness.

Geum chiloense belongs to the Rosaceae family, known for its resilience and adaptability. Initially cultivated for ornamental purposes, ‘Mrs Bradshaw’ became a favourite in garden borders and beds due to its long flowering period and vivid colour. Over time, it has been widely used in breeding programs to develop new, colourful Geum varieties, solidifying its place in botanical and gardening history.
