Peter Dowdall: Geums attract bees and add colour to your garden 

Loved by bees and other pollinating insects, geums will not only bring colour and beauty to the garden, they will also help to sustain wildlife and enhance biodiversity

It's funny how plants come and go on my radar. What I was intent on sourcing a few years back is now hardly looked at. I remember, once upon a time, I needed, not just wanted but needed, to find every single campanula that I could and, now, I could take or leave them. 

I do still love them in the garden but am not driven to have the ultimate collection of campanula.
