Of course i have Dar, you'll be the first to get em, just been waiting for some Rusty seeds to ripen. So as well as Poco you'll be getting Rusty Young as well, hope to get em sent off in the next couple of weeks or so.

Hey Mike, sorry to take so long in replying but i've not been able to get an internet connection for nearly three weeks.
Not sure which of the Geums you're refering to but here's a brief history.
I discovered what was either a mutant or a chance seedling growing in a pot of Geum Lemon Drops about five years ago, noticed it was different straight away, much more vigorous habit and larger flowering. So i decided it was good enough to release to the public and decided to name it Poco. Since that time i've been breeding some wonderful new hybrids from this plant including Rusty Young, and others shown here. Have quite a few more new ones as well which i have yet to name, including one which i've picked out as a possible Paul Cotton.

(zone 5).

They are generally very hardy plants LJH, but that is an awful lot of feet, so it's hard to say for sure.
