Geum, Avens 'Blazing Sunset'

I ordered and planted this last spring as "Double Bloody Mary". I wasn't as diligent about watering as I should have been with a first-y...Read Moreear plant, and left them for dead as winter approached. This spring, they surprised me, and I relocated them. They are blooming beautifully this spring. Southern Missouri - Zone 6.

This has been a champion for me in western Washington. It has bright red double flowers held waving 2 ft above pretty medium green folia...Read Morege. In it's second year it has bloomed continuously from mid May to late July and is still going strong. I do deadhead and that may keep the bloom going longer. It is in mostly sun & survives with only occasional water.

I bought this plant in June (I live on Cape Cod, Mass) because it was so brilliant orange,..then it slowly collapsed, lost all bloom and ...Read Morethe foliage turned brown.
Seeing it wasn't happy, I moved it to a spot with less sun, (south garden under a buddleia bush, watered and waited. WOW! Still doing poorly.
I gave it a nice sandy loam, well drained area with about 5 hours of sun. Today, I thought it had died, as it was wilted to the ground. I watered again and it has perked up. I will say it is making new leaves since transplant. I hope it winters over. I just may move it again to ensure it doesn't get lost in the jungle!

I just bought this plant today. The woman said NOT to divide it now, to make it two plants (I got two one gallon sized pots) or four pla...Read Morents. That "it's one plant, so can't be divided." ? I asked if it spread, and she said yes, that it is a slow to spread. I asked if it self-seeded, and she didn't know. Since we are planting this tomorrow a.m., and planting in an area that has bulbs, we don't want to have to do that chore more than once (finding the bulbs, moving them aside, digging hole for plants, etc.)

Also, anyone who has "planted from seed", did you just throw them near the current plant in the fall, and hope for new plants in Spring? Or, did you have to collect seeds, plant in medium in spring, move to outdoors, etc. etc. etc.?
Thanks in advance,
